Your property can no longer be confiscated by law enforcement without a conviction. The bills were signed by the governor, limiting drug forfeiture laws.
Up until now, police agencies in Michigan could confiscate cars, homes, any property suspected of being connected to drug dealing.
The property is sold, and law enforcement gets the money.
The new rules allow forfeiture only if a drug defendant is convicted.
Attorney General Dana Nessel points out the bills got near unanimous support.
The main sponsor was Senator Peter Lucido, Republican from Macomb County.
Last year 736 people had property forfeited, even though they were not charged with a crime.
