COMMENTARY ON §706-600.5

 

  Act 202, Session Laws 1987, clarified the time periods within this chapter by providing definitions for a "day", "month", and "year".  This clarification should eliminate confusion by law enforcement personnel in regard to these time periods.  House Standing Committee Report No. 556.
