The bill amends several sections of the Michigan Penal Code, specifically sections 448, 449, 450, 451, 454, and 462, to increase the age of individuals involved in prostitution-related offenses from 16 to 18 years. This change applies to those who accost, solicit, or invite others for prostitution, as well as those who receive or admit individuals for such purposes. Additionally, the penalties for violations of these sections are enhanced, with fines increased from $500 to $1,000 for first-time offenders, and from $1,000 to $2,000 for those with one prior conviction. The maximum imprisonment for repeat offenders is also raised from 2 years to 5 years.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for first-time offenders who plead guilty or are found guilty of certain violations, allowing the court to defer proceedings and place them on probation, which includes mandatory participation in a human trafficking awareness program. The bill also establishes a presumption that individuals under 18 years of age were coerced into illegal activities, and it mandates law enforcement to report suspected human trafficking cases involving minors. The amendments aim to strengthen the legal framework against human trafficking and related offenses while providing avenues for rehabilitation for first-time offenders.
