This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 16d of Chapter XVII, which pertains to the classification of certain felonies. The amendments include the addition of specific offenses related to domestic assault, aggravated domestic assault, and assaults against health professionals and medical volunteers. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications for various forms of assault, including those that result in bodily injury, serious impairment, or death, particularly in the context of assaults against pregnant individuals and health professionals.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if certain related legislation is also passed. The changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding violent crimes, particularly those affecting vulnerable populations such as pregnant individuals and medical personnel, by clearly defining the penalties associated with these offenses.
