Michigan lawmakers are considering a historic bipartisan package of pretrial reforms aimed at transforming the state’s criminal justice system by reducing wealth-based detention, strengthening due process, and ensuring fairer pretrial decision-making.⁠
⁠
On Tuesday, the House Criminal Justice Committee heard testimony on the bills — 4655-4656 and 4658-4661 — which, if passed, would bring sweeping changes to pretrial practices across Michigan.⁠
⁠
The proposed bills tackle Michigan’s long-standing reliance on cash bail, which has led to thousands of low-level, nonviolent defendants languishing in jail simply because they cannot afford bail.⁠
