This bill amends the Corrections Code of 1953 by adding a new section, 7b, which mandates the Michigan Department of Corrections to publish a report on its website every 90 days. The report will include aggregate data on qualified prisoners, specifically detailing their immigration statuses, the convictions for which they are serving sentences, and their home countries. This requirement will take effect six months after the bill's enactment.

The bill defines "qualified prisoner" as any prisoner under the jurisdiction of the department who is not a U.S. citizen, and "home country" as the country of birth. This initiative aims to enhance transparency regarding the demographics of the prison population, particularly focusing on non-citizen inmates.
