HB 4353 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Water supply: systems; authority as municipal authority; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 2006 PA 563 (MCL 15.391). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4352'25

This bill's title incorrectly references water supply, but the actual text amends Michigan's law restricting disclosure of law enforcement statements (2006 PA 563). It defines "involuntary statement" as information compelled by a law enforcement agency through threats of job loss or sanctions. The bill would protect such compelled statements from disclosure, applying to officers employed by state police, county agencies, cities, universities, and other specified entities. This directly affects law enforcement officers and agencies by limiting how their compelled statements can be used in legal proceedings.
