This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13m of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to controlled substances. Notably, it introduces new classifications for offenses involving the sale, distribution, or delivery of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, as well as soliciting others to obtain these substances for methamphetamine production. Additionally, the bill adds provisions for the delivery or manufacture of xylazine for illicit use, reflecting a response to emerging drug-related issues.

The bill also makes several deletions and insertions to existing legal language, including the removal of certain sections and the addition of new classifications for various controlled substances. For instance, it replaces the previous language regarding prescription fraud with updated terms that encompass the fraudulent obtaining of xylazine. Furthermore, it specifies penalties for violations related to the unlawful dispensing of out-of-state prescriptions and the possession of counterfeit prescription forms. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4166.
