The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 17b of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to gross negligence in pedestrian crossings and the sale of nitrous oxide devices. Notably, it introduces new categories of offenses, such as causing the death of a blind pedestrian or their service animal due to negligent driving, and outlines penalties for individuals with prior convictions related to the sale or distribution of nitrous oxide.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will not take effect unless certain other legislative measures, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4527, are enacted into law. This conditional enactment underscores the interconnected nature of legislative processes in Michigan, ensuring that related bills are passed in tandem.
