This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically section 13m of chapter XVII, to update the classifications and penalties associated with various drug-related felonies. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the application of this chapter to certain felonies related to the sale, distribution, or delivery of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, as well as the solicitation of these substances for methamphetamine production. Additionally, it outlines the classifications and maximum penalties for various offenses involving controlled substances, including methamphetamine, marihuana, and counterfeit substances.

Significant deletions from the current law include the removal of specific classifications and penalties for the delivery or manufacture of certain quantities of schedule 1 or 2 controlled substances. The bill replaces these with updated classifications that reflect current legal standards and practices. Furthermore, it establishes that the amendatory act will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 460 of the 103rd Legislature.
