HB 5777 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: other; procedures regarding certain arrests and prosecutions; provide for. Amends 1927 PA 175 (MCL 760.1 - 777.69) by adding sec. 26b to ch. IV & secs. 1a & 1b to ch. XVI.

This bill modifies Michigan's criminal procedure to restrict law enforcement from arresting or detaining individuals for specific immigration-related offenses while they are on the premises of schools, places of worship, or health care facilities. It also establishes a new process allowing courts to dismiss these charges or release defendants on the condition that they voluntarily return to their country of origin, provided they have no prior convictions for these offenses and are not facing other serious charges. Additionally, the legislation requires law enforcement to collect biometric data and check federal security databases before issuing such return orders, while prohibiting courts from dismissing cases solely because a federal immigration review is pending.
