This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by adding new provisions to ensure that individuals arrested for alleged criminal violations are informed of their rights. Specifically, it mandates that each individual must be advised of their right to remain silent, their right to have an attorney present during questioning, and that any statements made may be used against them in court. This addition aims to reinforce the due process rights of individuals in the criminal justice system.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding the procedures following an arrest without a warrant. It specifies that a peace officer must take the arrested individual before a magistrate within 48 hours of the arrest and present a complaint stating the charges against the individual. The changes include replacing the term "person" with "individual" throughout the relevant sections to emphasize the rights of the arrested individual.
