A bill to require the collection of certain residential and demographic information of incarcerated individuals and to require the information to be reported in a certain manner; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state officers and entities.
The bill would enact a new law to require the following: -- The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) to collect a newly incarcerated individual's pre-incarceration address and demographic data. -- The MDOC to provide certain information to the Secretary of State (SOS) for each incarcerated individual that was allocated by the U.S. Census to the geographic unit in which the individual's correctional facility was located. -- The SOS to remove an individual allocated by the U.S. Census to the geographic unit containing the individual's correctional facility to the geographic unit in which the individual lived prior to incarceration. -- The SOS to compile a report using this information and present it to the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission), which would have to take the results into consideration while proposing a redistricting plan.
