Criminal procedure: other; right to due process; provide for. Amends sec. 13, ch. IV of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 764.13) & adds sec. 1a to ch. III.

HB 4944 requires police to clearly inform individuals arrested for criminal offenses about their rights. Specifically, it mandates that officers advise arrestees of their right to remain silent, their right to have an attorney present during questioning, and that anything they say may be used against them in court. This directly affects people arrested for crimes in Michigan, ensuring they receive these standard due process warnings upon arrest. The bill amends Michigan's criminal procedure code to add this requirement as a new Section 1a in Chapter III.
