The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating definitions in Chapter XVII, specifically section 1. It introduces new definitions for "Companion animal," which is defined according to section 50b of the Michigan Penal Code, and retains existing definitions for terms such as "Aircraft," "Departure," "Homicide," "Intermediate sanction," "ORV," "Snowmobile," "Vehicle," and "Vessel," while making adjustments to their respective designations in the text.

The amendments include the insertion of new legal language to clarify these definitions, while also deleting the previous letter designations for certain terms. For example, the term "Companion animal" is newly defined, while the previous designation for "Departure" has been changed from (b) to (c), and so forth for the other terms. This restructuring aims to enhance clarity and ensure that the definitions align with current legal standards.
