TiPS Episode 25 0425 Legislative SPOTLIGHT: MICHIGAN'S NEW SWATTING LAW

In this episode of TiPS: Tooday in Public Safety, we examine Michigan Senate Bill 202 of 2025, a timely and critical legislative response to the growing threat of "swatting" — malicious false emergency calls that summon police to innocent people's homes.

Introduced by Senator Dayna Polehanki, SB 202 aims to make swatting a felony with penalties that escalate based on harm caused — from 4 years to 15 years in prison. The bill also allows restitution to recover emergency response costs. Tune in to understand what’s in the bill, why it matters, and where it stands in the legislative process.
