The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13n of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to the purchasing, selling, and improper handling of human organs and anatomical gifts. The bill enumerates various offenses, such as purchasing or selling body parts for transplantation, falsifying documents related to anatomical gifts for financial gain, and unauthorized removal of human organs. It also addresses violations related to waste disposal and the unauthorized practice of health professions, among others.
Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if certain related Senate and House bills are also enacted. The new legal language emphasizes the seriousness of these offenses and aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding the handling of human organs and anatomical gifts in Michigan.
