The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 16d of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to domestic violence and assaults against health professionals and medical volunteers. Notably, it introduces new classifications for various offenses, such as domestic assault against a pregnant individual with prior convictions, aggravated domestic assault, and assaulting or obstructing certain persons, including health professionals. The bill also modifies existing classifications by removing certain language and replacing it with more precise definitions that include the requirement for medical attention in cases of assault.

Additionally, the bill outlines the penalties associated with these offenses, categorizing them into different classes based on the severity of the crime. The changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding domestic violence and assaults, ensuring that individuals who commit these acts face appropriate consequences. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
