Criminal procedure: other; certain requirements for the use of informants in criminal proceedings; provide for. Amends 1927 PA 175 (MCL 760.1 - 777.69) by adding secs. 36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, 36e, 36f & 36g to ch. VIII.

This bill establishes new rules for how prosecutors in Michigan must handle information gathered from in-custody informants, who are individuals not directly involved in the crime but who provide testimony while incarcerated or after being charged themselves. It requires prosecutors to track and report details about any benefits offered to these informants, such as reduced sentences or financial rewards, and to share this information with state correctional agencies. Additionally, the law mandates that prosecutors disclose specific credibility factors to the defense before trial, including the informant's criminal history and any prior instances where they received benefits for testimony. If an in-custody informant testifies, the prosecutor must inform the jury that their evidence should be weighed carefully due to the potential for undisclosed benefits, and victims in related cases must be notified of any incentives given to the witness.
