This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by introducing new provisions to ensure that individuals arrested for alleged criminal violations are informed of their rights. Specifically, it mandates that each arrested 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, rather than "without unnecessary delay," and requires the officer to present a complaint that clearly states the charges against the individual. These changes are intended to clarify the timeline and responsibilities of law enforcement in the arrest process, ensuring that individuals are promptly brought before a judicial authority.
