The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 17b of chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to public safety and obscenity. Notable insertions include the addition of offenses such as the sale or distribution of nitrous oxide devices with prior convictions, dissemination of intimate deep fakes with aggravating factors, and various riot-related offenses, including incitement to riot and unlawful assembly. These changes aim to clarify and expand the scope of felonies addressed under this chapter.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless certain related Senate and House bills are enacted into law. This conditional enactment underscores the interconnected nature of legislative changes and the importance of comprehensive lawmaking in addressing criminal offenses in Michigan.
