(MPRN-Lansing) The state would compensate people who are wrongfully imprisoned under a bill that cleared a state Senate committee on Tuesday.
People found to be innocent after serving time would get $60,000 for every year they were incarcerated. Senate Bill 291 now goes to the full state Senate. Similar legislation cleared a state House panel earlier this year, but House Bill 4536 has since stalled on the House floor.
