This bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan, specifically section 17764, to enhance regulations surrounding the sale and labeling of drugs and devices. It establishes that individuals cannot sell, offer for sale, possess for sale, or manufacture drugs or devices with misleading labels regarding their contents, uses, or purposes, with violations classified as misdemeanors. The bill also modifies the language regarding the determination of misleading labels, changing "shall" to "must," and introduces new penalties for various violations, including felonies for adulterating or misbranding drugs, with increased penalties for violations resulting in personal injury, serious impairment, or death.

Additionally, the bill specifies that if a violation of subsection (2) results in death, the offender may face a felony charge punishable by up to 15 years in prison or a fine of up to $20,000. It further stipulates that if the violation is committed with the intent to kill or cause serious impairment to two or more individuals, the offender could face life imprisonment without parole. The bill clarifies that individuals can still be charged with other violations of law committed while violating this section. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4506.
