State Rep. Tom Leonard
State Rep. Tom Leonard (front row, center) with Larry Fouts and Gov. Rick Snyder who holds Public Act 123 of 2014, which was signed into law recently.
The law, authored by Leonard, R-DeWitt Township, reforms Michigan’s preliminary examination process for those charged with a crime. The measure is a culmination of many years of discussion; and it’s a move, Leonard says, that will make the process more efficient and effective for Michigan taxpayers while protecting crime victims and preserving the rights of those accused.
