HB 6158 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: indictment; reference to indictment of adultery; remove. Amends sec. 44, ch. VII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 767.44).

This bill removes the specific example of adultery from the list of crimes included in the standard indictment forms used in Michigan criminal proceedings. By deleting this reference, the legislation updates the state's criminal procedure code to ensure that official legal documents do not cite adultery as a model charge. The change directly affects prosecutors and courts by simplifying the templates for charging documents, though it does not alter the legal status of adultery itself. The bill is contingent on the simultaneous passage of another related measure before it can take effect.
