HB 5495 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: search and seizure; protections against unlawful search and seizure; provide for. Amends sec. 15d, ch. IV of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 764.15d) & adds sec. 1h to ch. IV.

HB 5495 prohibits law enforcement officers from stopping, detaining, or arresting individuals based solely on personal characteristics like race, ethnicity, language accent, location near immigrant communities, or perceived religious, sexual, or political identity. It also bans officers from entering a dwelling using a federal agency administrative warrant. The bill defines key terms including "immigrant" (non-citizen residents) and "personal characteristics," and clarifies that federal officers may only enforce state law under specific conditions outlined in amended Section 15d. This directly affects all Michigan law enforcement officers and the people they interact with during stops or searches.
