Establishes an affirmative defense for individuals prosecuted for a crime if they were victims of human trafficking.

This bill amends Michigan's criminal procedure law to establish an affirmative defense for individuals prosecuted for a felony or misdemeanor. If the defendant can prove they were a victim of human trafficking, they can use this defense to argue they committed the crime as a direct result of their trafficking. The defendant must prove this defense by a preponderance of the evidence. This change takes effect 90 days after the law is enacted.
