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 introduces new classifications and maximum penalties for these offenses, enhancing the legal framework surrounding public safety and law enforcement interactions.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but it is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 337 from the 103rd Legislature. This legislative action reflects a broader effort to strengthen the legal consequences for actions that impede law enforcement and public safety officials, thereby aiming to improve accountability and protection for those serving in these roles.
