Criminal procedure: warrants; execution of search warrants; modify. Amends sec. 6 of 1966 PA 189 (MCL 780.656).

This bill modifies Michigan's search warrant procedures to require law enforcement officers to announce their identity and purpose and wait a reasonable amount of time before forcing entry into a home or building. Officers must wear uniforms or be clearly identifiable when breaking into a property, and they must include specific details about potential dangers, occupants, and disabilities in their warrant applications if they plan to skip the announcement step. Exceptions allowing entry without announcing identity are permitted only when there is an immediate threat to life, evidence suggests occupants know police are present, or announcing would hinder the investigation. The law also defines a "reasonable period of time" as the duration needed for an occupant to admit officers while accounting for the time it might take to destroy evidence.
