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 legal language that specifies the felonies, including the grossly negligent actions of drivers causing the death of blind pedestrians and their service animals, as well as the sale or distribution of nitrous oxide devices to individuals with two or more prior convictions.

Additionally, the bill removes a reference to a previous section concerning the sale of nitrous oxide devices, streamlining the legal framework surrounding these offenses. The enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 388 from the 103rd Legislature, indicating a coordinated legislative effort to address these issues comprehensively.
