Guidelines & Statutes

Resentencing

Act 81 of 2008 required the Commission to adopt Resentencing Guidelines that take into account factors considered in adopting sentencing guidelines, the seriousness of the violation, and the rehabilitative needs of the defendant. 

Upon revocation of a sentence of probation for technical and/or conviction violation(s), all sentencing alternatives available to the Court at the time of the initial sentence are available to the court for resentencing.  The Court must consider Resentencing Guidelines when resentencing an offender.  Resentencing Guidelines became effective January 1, 2020.
