The bill amends the Michigan Penal Code by updating the definition of "racketeering" in section 159g. It specifies that racketeering includes a range of criminal activities for financial gain, such as various felonies related to tobacco tax violations, environmental protection, controlled substances, welfare fraud, Medicaid fraud, and more. Notably, the bill replaces the term "gaming control and revenue act" with "Gaming Control and Revenue Act" and removes the reference to section 77 concerning arson, while adding section 75 to the list of felonies related to arson.

Additionally, the bill expands the scope of racketeering to include offenses committed in other states that are substantially similar to those listed in the bill, as well as federal offenses that meet the same criteria. The enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 360 of the 103rd Legislature.
