Public Hearing Guidelines

PLEASE NOTE: Members of the public who wish to attend a scheduled public hearing must register no later than two (2) business days before the hearing date. If you have not registered, please complete and submit the registration form. 

Guidelines:

  • Attendees must log into the hearing at least 15 minutes before the start of the hearing.*
  • Recordings, photography, or screenshots of the hearing are prohibited.
  • To eliminate distractions and background noise, cameras must be turned off, and audio must be muted throughout the hearing.
  • If you registered to speak at the hearing, a Parole Board member will call your name during the public testimony segment, and you will be asked to turn on your camera and audio.
  • Please test the link on the tab labeled “Join Public Hearing” before the day of the hearing. The Microsoft Teams app may need to be downloaded onto your equipment to be able to use the link.
  • If you have any questions about accessing the hearing, please call 517-335-1739 or 517-335-1736.

* Locate the press release for the individual whose public hearing you have registered to attend. This will provide the public hearing date and time.

Please note: Press releases will appear on the Michigan Department of Corrections website approximately two weeks to 30 days before the scheduled hearing date.
