The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13n of Chapter XVII to include a list of specific felonies related to the purchasing, selling, and improper handling of human body parts and medical practices. The new legal language outlines various offenses, such as the purchasing or selling of body parts for transplantation, falsifying documents related to anatomical gifts, and violations concerning the disposal of medical waste. The bill categorizes these offenses and assigns corresponding classifications and maximum penalties.
Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if Senate Bill No. 154 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted. This conditional enactment ensures that the changes made by this bill are aligned with other legislative actions regarding health and safety regulations.
