The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 16t of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies outlined in Chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Notable insertions include the addition of offenses related to the possession of ransomware, conspiracy to unjustly commit a person to a state hospital, and various categories of false reporting crimes, which now specify the intent and consequences of such actions. The bill also introduces new classifications for crimes such as hazing, gang-related offenses, and cyberbullying, with corresponding penalties based on the severity of the outcomes, such as serious impairment or death.

Additionally, the bill makes several deletions, particularly in the descriptions of false reporting crimes, where terms like "resulting in physical injury" and "serious impairment of body function" have been replaced with more precise language regarding the intent and consequences of the actions. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 202 and will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
