Modifies property forfeiture rules for crimes committed on land in Michigan.
This bill amends Michigan's property forfeiture laws to clarify conditions under which land can be subject to seizure and forfeiture. It specifies that property is not subject to forfeiture if the owner had no prior knowledge or consent to the crime, unless the owner was willfully blind. It also outlines exceptions for primary residences of spouses or dependent children. The forfeiture of property encumbered by a land contract is subject to the interest of the land contract vendor if they had no prior knowledge or consent to the crime.
