H.B. 4483: COMMITTEE SUMMARY DOMESTIC ASSAULT ARRESTS
House Bill 4483 (as passed by the House) Sponsor: Representative Nick Ciaramitaro House Committee: Judiciary and Civil Rights Senate Committee: Judiciary
Date Completed: 2-20-96
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to extend a peace officer’s authority to make an arrest without a warrant for a domestic assault to include a violation of a local ordinance substantially corresponding to the State law violations.
Currently, an officer may arrest a person for simple assault (MCL 750.81) or aggravated assault (MCL 750.81a), regardless of whether the officer has a warrant or whether the violation was committed in his or her presence, if the officer has reasonable cause to believe that the violation occurred or is occurring and that the person has had a child in common with the victim, resides or has resided in the same household as the victim, or is a spouse or former spouse of the victim.
MCL 764.15a Legislative Analyst: P. Affholter
