This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13m of Chapter XVII, which pertains to the classification and penalties for various felonies related to controlled substances. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the application of this chapter to certain felonies enumerated in Chapter 333 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, including the sale, distribution, or delivery of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, as well as soliciting others to obtain these substances for methamphetamine production. Additionally, it outlines various classifications and maximum penalties for offenses related to the delivery or manufacture of controlled substances, including heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine.

The bill also includes significant deletions from the existing law, particularly concerning the penalties for the delivery or manufacture of large quantities of certain controlled substances, which have been removed. Instead, the bill establishes new classifications and penalties for various amounts of controlled substances, including specific provisions for marihuana and counterfeit substances. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4255 and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
