A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” by amending section 10c of chapter II (MCL 762.10c), as amended by 2013 PA 215.
This bill focuses on enhancing consumer protection against identity theft by clarifying and expanding the jurisdictions in which offenses related to identity theft and certain violations of the Michigan Penal Code can be prosecuted. It outlines that such offenses can be prosecuted in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, where the illegally obtained information was used, or where the victim resides. Furthermore, it allows for the prosecution of multiple violations of the Identity Theft Protection Act or specific sections of the Michigan Penal Code across different jurisdictions in any one of those jurisdictions. The enactment of this bill is dependent on the passage of Senate Bill No. 888.
