Republican Rep. Kim Banta said her bill was modeled on legislation that holds parents and guardians responsible for crimes committed by minors while driving.

Parents must have shown “negligence or willful misconduct” in their children’s gun crimes.

Michigan made history in April when a court ruled that the parents of school shooter Ethan Crumbley , 15 , would be held criminally liable for their son's crimes.
