This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 16r of chapter XVII, which pertains to various felonies outlined in chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The amendments include the addition of new legal language that specifies the categories, classes, descriptions, and maximum penalties for various larceny and theft-related offenses. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications for offenses such as theft of cargo and larceny by false personation, with specific penalties based on the value of the stolen property and prior convictions.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if certain other legislative bills are also enacted. This conditional enactment ensures that the changes to the criminal procedure are aligned with broader legislative reforms. The bill reflects an effort to clarify and update the legal framework surrounding property crimes in Michigan, enhancing the specificity of penalties associated with various offenses.
