The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically section 13m of chapter XVII, to include new provisions related to the sale, distribution, and delivery of controlled substances, particularly those involving ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. It introduces specific categories and classifications for various felonies associated with these substances, detailing the maximum penalties for offenses such as the sale or delivery of products containing these chemicals, solicitation for their purchase for methamphetamine production, and the manufacture of imitation controlled substances.
Additionally, the bill removes certain existing classifications related to the delivery or manufacture of large quantities of schedule 1 or 2 controlled substances, streamlining the legal framework surrounding drug offenses. The amendments also specify penalties for the delivery or manufacture of heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanil, as well as for operating or maintaining controlled substance laboratories under various circumstances. 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.
