The Michigan Senate passed Senate Bill 24, which would amend the Juvenile Diversion Act, after rejecting two amendments offered by Senator Runstead and then voting 29–6 with two senators excused for final passage.

Senator Runstead argued for amendments that would open de‑identified juvenile justice data to public records requests and allow independent peer review. "This bill is to permit the universities to be able to access information on these juvenile justice data information. That seems fine. But once you've removed the personal identifying information, so you don't know what juvenile you're talking about, why would we say that SCALE, the courts, would be able to limit the data use agreement to just the universities? Why wouldn't it be permitted to FOIA this information once it's out of the courts?" Runstead asked on the floor. He said the change was necessary so independent researchers could "produce a report, can produce a study, and tell us what the information's all about," and warned that without peer review "this data is absolutely worthless."

Senator Tice spoke in support of Runstead's proposal. "As a scientist, being able to determine the strength of the evidence is absolutely essential to know how valid the research was. Why we would prohibit that from being made available to us actually negates the value of the research that the university is going to do," Tice said.

Both Runstead amendments failed. On Runstead amendment number 1 the secretary announced there were 2 aye votes and an insufficient number to adopt the amendment. On Runstead amendment number 2 the secretary announced there were 5 aye votes and an insufficient number to adopt the amendment.

After debate and the failed amendments, the Senate moved to final passage. The secretary announced the vote on final passage: 29 aye, 6 no, and 2 excused. The presiding officers declared the bill passed and ordered it placed for subsequent processing.

The transcript records the amendments by number and the roll call tallies as announced by the secretary; individual senator roll‑call names for the final passage were not provided in the transcript excerpt.

The bill will now proceed through the remaining steps required under legislative procedure for enactment or further consideration, as applicable.
