The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Chapter XVII, specifically section 16t, to include new felony classifications and descriptions. Notably, it introduces a new felony for "Knowing possession of ransomware with intent to use without authorization" under section 750.409b, and expands the existing categories related to the illegal bringing of aliens into the country, detailing various violations and their corresponding classifications. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for false reporting of crimes and emergencies, as well as updates to the classifications for money laundering offenses.

The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4336, and it is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law. The bill aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding these offenses, reflecting the evolving nature of crime in Michigan, particularly in relation to technology and immigration.
