SB 1114 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Law enforcement: investigations; minor confidential informant; require parental consent for children under the age of 18. Creates new act.

This bill requires law enforcement agencies in Michigan to get written consent from a parent or legal guardian before using anyone under 18 as an informant or a participant in law enforcement activities. The law defines specific types of agencies covered, including police departments, sheriff offices, and university police, while excluding minors who are legally emancipated. If an agency uses a minor without this required consent, parents can go to court to stop the practice and may receive at least $500 plus their legal fees as compensation.
