Criminal procedure: other; electronic monitoring by global positioning devices of certain individuals released without bail; require. Amends sec. 6b, ch. V of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 765.6b).

HB 4525 requires judges to consider ordering GPS tracking devices for defendants charged with aggravated domestic violence or assaultive crimes who are released without bail. It directly affects these defendants and their victims, as the bill mandates judges to evaluate whether electronic monitoring would deter further harm before trial. Key provisions include requiring courts to document specific conditions, enter orders into law enforcement databases, and give victims the option to receive proximity alerts if the defendant approaches them. The bill also specifies that defendants must cover device costs or perform community service as a condition of release.
