HB4095 Summary

• Amends Michigan's criminal procedure law to include human trafficking violations alongside domestic violence and sexual assault as offenses for which evidence of other similar acts is admissible at trial.

• Allows evidence of prior human trafficking acts to be admitted if relevant and not excluded under Michigan Rule of Evidence 403, subject to the same conditions as domestic violence and sexual assault evidence.

• Defines "human trafficking" as violations of chapters LXVIIA of the Michigan penal code (MCL 750.462a to 750.462h).

• Maintains the 10-year lookback period for admissibility of prior acts, with exceptions for reported sexual assaults, cases with evidence kits, DNA identification, or when admitting evidence serves the interest of justice.

• Requires prosecutors to disclose evidence of prior acts to defendants at least 15 days before trial or at a later time if the court permits for good cause.
