Michigan law Sections 771.5 and 771.6 outline the procedures for terminating probation, reporting conduct, discharging probationers, and recording these actions. The law allows courts to discharge probationers or extend probation within the maximum period, but it does not apply to certain juveniles under specific circumstances. Upon discharge, the court records the action, and probationers can obtain certified copies of their discharge records.
When a probation period ends, the probation officer reports the conduct to the court, which can then discharge the probationer or extend the probation within the maximum allowed period.
Yes, the court may extend a probation period as needed, provided the maximum probation period is not exceeded.
No, certain juveniles placed on probation under specific circumstances are exempt from these procedures, particularly those committed to institutions under the Youth Rehabilitation Services Act.
The court records the discharge of the probationer, and the individual is entitled to a certified copy of this discharge record.
