HB4525

Michigan HB4525 requires courts to consider electronic monitoring for defendants charged with domestic violence or assaultive crimes.

Michigan HB4525 amends the state's criminal procedure law to allow courts to order electronic monitoring for defendants charged with domestic violence or assaultive crimes. The court must consider the likelihood that electronic monitoring will deter the defendant from harming the victim before trial. If the victim consents, the court can enter the monitoring order into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN). The order must include details such as the defendant's identifying information, the conditions imposed, and the consequences of violating the order.
