The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating the jurisdictional provisions related to the prosecution of certain offenses. Specifically, it clarifies that conduct prohibited by law, particularly in relation to identity theft and other specified offenses, can be prosecuted in the jurisdiction where the offense occurred, where the information used to commit the violation was illegally utilized, or where the victim resides. The bill also expands the list of laws under which such conduct may be prosecuted, including the Identity Theft Protection Act and various sections of the Michigan Penal Code.

Additionally, the bill makes specific insertions and deletions to the legal language, including the removal of references to certain sections of the Identity Theft Protection Act and the Michigan Penal Code, while adding new references to updated sections. Notably, it stipulates that if a person is charged with multiple violations of the Identity Theft Protection Act, those charges can be prosecuted in any jurisdiction where the violations may apply. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 360 of the 103rd Legislature.
