INVOL. STATEMENT BY LAW OFFICER; MODIFY S.B. 1100 (S-1):
SUMMARY OF BILL
REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE
Senate Bill 1100 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Ed McBroom
Committee: Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety
CONTENT
The bill would amend Public Act 563 of 2006, which restricts the use and disclosure of
involuntary statements made by law enforcement officers, to specify that an "involuntary
statement" would not include intentionally false or misleading information concerning a
material fact made by a law enforcement officer compelled under the threat of sanction or
dismissal.
The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
MCL 15.391
BRIEF RATIONALE
The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that false or inaccurate information compelled under threat
of sanction cannot be used against a law enforcement officer in subsequent criminal
proceedings.1 According to testimony before the Senate Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary,
and Public Safety, the ruling applies to false statements made by officers as well. Some believe
that an involuntary statement should not include intentionally false or misleading information,
and so the change has been suggested.
