MI SB1114

Prohibits law enforcement agencies from using minors (individuals under 18) as law enforcement participants or informants without written consent from a parent or legal guardian, with an exception for emancipated minors.

Defines "informant" as an individual used by law enforcement to provide information about others for investigating crimes or civil infractions, excluding individuals who voluntarily report crimes unless law enforcement recontacts them for additional information.

Defines "law enforcement participant" as a non-officer individual directly used by law enforcement to prevent crimes or enforce laws.

Allows parents or legal guardians to obtain injunctive orders in circuit court prohibiting law enforcement agencies from using their minor child as a participant or informant if consent was not obtained.

Requires law enforcement agencies to pay actual costs, attorney fees, and damages of $500 to $1,000 to the parent or legal guardian if a court issues an injunctive order due to non-compliance with consent requirements.
