Bill Summary · SB 892

Legislative bill overview

SB 892 amends Michigan's Criminal Procedure Act to update references to identity theft protection provisions. The bill modernizes existing statutory language in MCL 762.10c to ensure current and accurate citations to identity theft protections within the state's criminal code.

Why is this important

Identity theft is a significant crime affecting thousands of Michigan residents annually, and accurate statutory references ensure law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts can effectively apply protection laws. Outdated or incorrect code references can create confusion in legal proceedings and potentially weaken enforcement of identity theft statutes.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited transparency: The bill's summary does not specify what references are being updated or what substantive changes occur, making public evaluation difficult
  • Scope ambiguity: Unclear whether this is purely technical cleanup or if it alters the actual protections available to victims
  • Legislative efficiency: Questions may arise about whether this represents productive use of legislative time versus more comprehensive identity theft reform
