The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 16x of Chapter XVII, which pertains to specific felonies outlined in Chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The amendments include the addition of various offenses related to obstructing public officials, assaulting certain officials, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, and tampering with evidence. Notably, the bill categorizes these offenses by their severity and specifies the maximum penalties associated with each, thereby clarifying the legal framework for prosecuting such crimes.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions that stipulate its enactment will take effect 90 days after being signed into law, and it will only become effective if Senate Bill No. 337 is also enacted. This legislative approach aims to ensure that the amendments are synchronized with related legal changes, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of law enforcement and public safety measures in Michigan.
