Civil procedure: other; civil process arrest exemptions; modify. Amends sec. 1821 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.1821).

HB 5963 modifies Michigan's laws to clarify and strengthen exemptions from civil arrest for specific groups of people. The bill protects legislators, women, minors under 16, attorneys, witnesses, jurors, and individuals traveling to or from criminal proceedings in other states from being arrested on civil matters while performing their duties or traveling. It also states that any civil arrest made against these protected individuals is automatically invalid and allows courts to release them immediately.
