SB 1164 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: other; use of certain criminal processes against an individual providing certain reproductive health services; limit. Amends sec. 1, ch. I & sec. 7, ch. XVI of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 761.1 & 776.7) & adds sec. 1h to ch. IV.

This bill amends Michigan's Code of Criminal Procedure to add a specific definition for "legally protected health activity" related to reproductive health services. The new provision defines these activities as seeking, providing, or referring for reproductive care, as well as assisting or providing material support for such services, provided the conduct is not unlawful under state law or the state constitution. By including these actions in the legal definitions, the bill aims to clarify how the criminal justice system should categorize and handle cases involving individuals who provide reproductive health services. The changes directly affect prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officers who must apply these definitions when processing criminal complaints or charges.
