The legislation states that in criminal trials, 'evidence of the discovery of, knowledge about, or potential disclosure of an individual's actual or perceived sex, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation is not admissible' for certain purposes.
H.B. 4718 effectively nullifies the 'gay or trans panic defense,' used to mitigate charges against those accused of violent crimes against gay or trans individuals in Michigan.
