The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 16t of chapter XVII, which pertains to specific felonies outlined in chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Notable insertions include the addition of new offenses such as "Knowing possession of ransomware with intent to use without authorization" and various classifications of false reporting crimes, including those resulting in physical injury or death. The bill also introduces new categories for threats or false reports related to explosives and harmful devices, as well as updates to the classifications for hazing and gang-related offenses.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding false reports of crimes, removing terms like "resulting in serious impairment of body function" and replacing them with more precise language regarding physical injury and death. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 202 and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
