    On page 1, beginning on line 13 of the striking amendment, strike all of subsection (2) and insert:

    "(2) "Informant" means any individual, other than a codefendant, eyewitness, accomplice, or coconspirator, whose testimony is based upon statements allegedly made by the defendant while both the defendant and individual were held within a correctional facility."

    On page 2, line 7 of the striking amendment, after "charges" strike "or investigations"

EFFECT:   Narrows the definition of "informant" to mean an individual, other than a codefendant, eyewitness, accomplice, or coconspirator, whose testimony is based upon statements allegedly made by the defendant while both the defendant and individual were held in a correctional facility.

Removes the requirement that the prosecutor disclose to the defendant any pending criminal investigations in which the informant is a suspect.
