This bill proposes amendments to the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically targeting section 16x of chapter XVII. The amendments include the addition of various felonies from chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, which encompass offenses such as unauthorized processes to obstruct public officials, assaulting or obstructing certain officials, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, and tampering with evidence. The bill categorizes these offenses by their severity and outlines the corresponding maximum penalties, thereby clarifying the legal framework surrounding these crimes.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, and it is contingent upon the enactment of House Bill No. 5079. This legislative move aims to enhance the clarity and enforcement of laws related to public safety and the integrity of law enforcement processes in Michigan.
