The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically section 16w of chapter XVII, to update the classifications and penalties associated with various felonies related to prostitution and human trafficking. Notably, it introduces new classifications for offenses, such as "Soliciting a person under 18 years of age to commit prostitution" and "Human trafficking violations involving death or the commission of certain felonies," while also adjusting the maximum penalties for these offenses. The bill specifies that for violations of human trafficking laws, the offense category and variable levels will be determined based on the underlying offense.

Additionally, the bill removes certain classifications and penalties, including those for human trafficking violations resulting in bodily injury and serious bodily injury. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of two other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
