Plain-English Summary

This bill regulates how law enforcement agencies in Michigan can use minors as participants or informants in investigations. It requires agencies to get written consent from a minor's parent or guardian before using them, unless the minor is emancipated. If an agency fails to get consent, a parent or guardian can seek a court order to stop the agency and may be awarded damages and legal fees.
