Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled"The code of criminal procedure,"by amending section 24 of chapter VII (MCL 767.24), as amended by 2024 PA 268.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to establish new time limits, known as statutes of limitations, for prosecuting certain criminal offenses, particularly those involving sexual conduct related to assisted reproduction, and also adjusts limitations for other crimes. Specifically, it introduces a 15-year statute of limitations for violations of section 219g of the Michigan penal code, which deals with criminal sexual conduct involving false representations in assisted reproduction, allowing for prosecution at any time if DNA evidence from an unidentified individual is found, and within 15 years after the individual is identified. The bill also makes changes to the application of these statutes of limitations, stating that the amendments made by the 2024 Public Act 268 apply to offenses committed on or after April 2, 2025, and are not retroactive. The term "DNA" refers to human deoxyribonucleic acid, and "identified" means the individual's legal name is known and they are confirmed as the source of the DNA.
