Allows courts to delay entry of judgment of conviction if sentencing is delayed, with exceptions.

This bill amends Michigan's criminal procedure law to allow courts to delay the entry of judgment of conviction if sentencing is delayed, with exceptions. The prosecutor must agree after consulting with the victim, and the court must find good cause or the defendant must be accepted into a specialty court or similar program. The bill does not apply to certain convictions, including those eligible for a delayed sentence under specific sections and traffic offenses involving vehicle operation. The changes take effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on the passage of another bill.
