This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 13m of Chapter XVII, which pertains to specific felonies related to controlled substances. The bill introduces new legal language that clarifies the application of the chapter to various felonies, particularly those involving the sale, distribution, or delivery of products containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. Notably, it replaces the phrase "Sale, distribution, or delivery of" with "Failure to deliver or ship product containing" and modifies the conditions under which these substances can be sold, emphasizing compliance with federal law.
Additionally, the bill includes several other amendments that specify the classifications and maximum penalties for various offenses related to controlled substances, including the delivery and manufacture of certain quantities of drugs, possession of controlled substances, and operating a controlled substance laboratory. The changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding drug-related offenses in Michigan, ensuring that the law is up-to-date with current practices and regulations. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4947.
