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 modifies the descriptions of offenses under Chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, replacing terms like "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" and clarifying the classifications and penalties associated with these offenses. For instance, it introduces new categories for offenses involving minors and specifies the consequences for violations related to human trafficking, including those resulting in bodily injury or death.

Additionally, the bill establishes that for violations of specific human trafficking laws, the offense category and variable levels will be determined based on the underlying offense. The amendments will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if another related bill (House Bill No. 5016) is also enacted. This legislative change aims to modernize the legal framework surrounding these serious crimes and enhance the state's ability to address and prosecute them effectively.
