Newly-introduced senate bill would change first MIP offense

A bill that would reclassify the first minor in possession, or MIP, offense by an underage individual from a misdemeanor to a civil infraction passed the Michigan House Criminal Justice Committee unanimously on Tuesday. Senate Bill 332, if enacted, would remove the possibility of jail time for first-time offenders, instead conferring a $100 fine. The bill was passed near-unanimously by the state Senate in March.
