This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating the language and classifications related to various offenses concerning commercial sexual activity and human trafficking. Specifically, it introduces new legal language that clarifies the categorization of felonies under Chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, including offenses related to prostitution, solicitation, and human trafficking. The bill replaces outdated terms such as "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" and specifies the offense categories and maximum penalties for various violations, including those involving minors.
Additionally, the bill outlines 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 House Bill No. 5016 and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law. The changes aim to modernize the legal framework surrounding these serious offenses and enhance the clarity of the law.
