The convening authority shall state the reasons for disapproval. If the convening authority disapproves the findings and sentence and does not order a rehearing, the convening authority shall dismiss the charges.\n\nEach rehearing shall take place before a court-martial whose composition shall not include a member or military judge of the court-martial which first heard the case. Upon a rehearing the accused may not be tried for an offense of which the accused was found not guilty by the first court-martial. A sentence in excess of or more severe than the original sentence shall not be imposed, unless the sentence is based upon a finding of guilty of an offense not considered upon the merits in the original proceedings, or unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 32","Act Act-523-of-1980"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-32-1063","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"67d48cce5612102b7f4b89378a17e6f91ff39c296866418a93cd65710aca9422","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-32.1062","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-32.1064"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
