This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating sections 16o and 16s of Chapter XVII, which pertain to various felonies outlined in Chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The amendments include the addition of specific felonies related to fraudulent activities, such as issuing or selling domestic securities, obtaining signatures with intent to defraud, and food stamp fraud, among others. Notably, the bill also deletes references to certain offenses, including the fraudulent damage or use of utility property exceeding $500.

The bill establishes a comprehensive list of felonies categorized by their nature and severity, detailing the maximum penalties associated with each offense. It specifies that the amendments will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, and it is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 255 from the 103rd Legislature. This legislative update aims to enhance the clarity and enforcement of criminal laws related to fraud and property crimes in Michigan.
