This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by revising the scoring criteria for offense variable 11, which pertains to criminal sexual penetration. The new language specifies that the scoring will now include points for multiple instances of criminal sexual penetration, both against a victim and a companion animal. Specifically, it introduces new categories for scoring, such as assigning points for two or more criminal sexual penetrations of a companion animal, and it clarifies that points should not be scored for the penetration that forms the basis of a first- or third-degree criminal sexual conduct offense.
Additionally, the bill outlines that all sexual penetrations of the victim or a companion animal by the offender related to the sentencing offense should be scored, while allowing for the possibility of scoring multiple penetrations in other offense variables. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of two other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature.
