This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13c of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to environmental safety and pollution. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the categories and classes of felonies, including offenses related to water pollution, air pollution, littering of infectious waste, hazardous waste, and underground storage tanks. Notably, it replaces the previous reference to water pollution under section 324.3115(4) with a new classification under section 324.3115(2) and adds additional classifications for knowingly releasing air pollutants that cause death or serious bodily injury.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless House Bill No. ____ (request no. H00125'25) is enacted into law. This conditional enactment emphasizes the interconnectedness of legislative measures concerning environmental protection and public safety in Michigan.
