MI HB5805

Adds definition of "emergency motion" to MCL 761.1, covering motions alleging deprivation of liberty, constitutional violations, or irreparable harm to the defendant.

Requires courts to hear emergency motions involving deprivation of liberty within 24 hours of filing, and all other emergency motions within 48 hours.

Mandates emergency motions include the basis for emergency status, whether notice was provided to prosecution, the remedy requested, and be provided in writing by mail, personal delivery, or electronic communication.

Allows courts to hear emergency motions ex parte in probation violation and post-conviction contempt matters, with prosecution receiving notice and opportunity to be heard within 24 or 48 hours accordingly.

Emergency motions must receive calendar precedence and be heard by the assigned judge, chief judge, or any available judge; excludes standard bond motions and permits courts to deny duplicate motions based on identical allegations.
