HB 4434 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Courts: juries; one-person grand jury provisions; repeal. Repeals secs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a & 6b, ch. VII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 767.3 et seq.).

HB 4434 repeals outdated sections of Michigan's 1927 criminal procedure code that permitted one-person grand juries. This removes archaic provisions (specifically sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a, and 6b of Chapter VII) from the law, eliminating historical rules about grand jury composition. The bill directly affects the legal framework governing grand jury procedures in Michigan by removing these obsolete provisions. It does not create new requirements or impact current court operations, as these rules were no longer in use.
