The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically section 13m of chapter XVII, to update the classifications and descriptions of certain felonies related to controlled substances. It introduces new legal language that specifies the application of this chapter to various felonies enumerated in chapter 333 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, including the sale, distribution, or delivery of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, as well as soliciting others to obtain these substances for methamphetamine production. The bill also outlines the penalties associated with the delivery or manufacture of various controlled substances, including methamphetamine and marihuana, and establishes classifications for these offenses.
Additionally, the bill removes outdated legal language regarding the delivery or manufacture of certain quantities of controlled substances, streamlining the classifications and penalties. It specifies that the amendments will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if Senate Bill No. 460 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted. This legislative update aims to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of Michigan's laws regarding controlled substances and their associated penalties.
