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 offenses, 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 public safety offenses, including obscenity and riot-related crimes.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that it will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 388 of the 103rd Legislature is enacted into law. This conditional enactment underscores the interconnectedness of legislative measures and the importance of comprehensive legal frameworks in addressing public safety and criminal conduct in Michigan.
