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 felonies, such as causing the death of a blind pedestrian or their service animal due to gross negligence while driving. Additionally, it includes provisions for prior convictions related to the sale or distribution of nitrous oxide devices and outlines various offenses related to public safety and order, including obscenity and riot-related crimes.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless certain related legislation, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4527, is enacted into law. This conditional enactment emphasizes the interconnectedness of legislative measures within the state.
