This bill mandates the collection and reporting of specific residential and demographic information for incarcerated individuals in Michigan. It defines key terms such as "demographic data," which includes an individual's race, Hispanic or Latino origin, and age, as well as "pre-incarceration address" and "incarcerated individual." The Department of Corrections is required to gather this information at the time of incarceration and report it to the independent citizens redistricting commission following each federal decennial census. Additionally, the Department of State must request similar data from the U.S. Department of Justice for individuals incarcerated in federal facilities or under federal supervision.

The bill also stipulates that the information collected must not be used for the distribution of state or federal funds. It emphasizes the role of the commission in utilizing this data for redistricting purposes while allowing the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget to assist if needed. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the understanding of the demographics of incarcerated individuals and their pre-incarceration addresses to inform redistricting efforts in Michigan.
