This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 16w of chapter XVII, which pertains to various felonies related to prostitution and human trafficking. The amendments include the addition of specific categories and classifications for offenses, such as soliciting minors for prostitution, keeping a house of prostitution, and various forms of human trafficking. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications for offenses, including the maximum penalties for violations, and modifies existing classifications by removing certain language regarding bodily injury and serious bodily injury in relation to human trafficking violations.
Additionally, the bill specifies that for violations of human trafficking laws, the offense category and variable levels will be determined based on the underlying offense. 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.
