The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 12m of chapter XVII, which pertains to specific felonies outlined in chapters 285 to 289 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications and maximum penalties for various offenses, including fraudulent warehouse receipt violations, false pretenses under the Michigan family farm development act, and violations related to the organic products act. The amendments also address offenses involving dangerous animals, dead animal violations, and the provision of adulterated human milk for consumption, specifying penalties that range from 1 to 15 years depending on the severity of the offense.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless Senate Bill No. 724 of the 103rd Legislature is enacted into law. This conditional enactment underscores the interconnected nature of legislative measures and their potential impact on criminal law in Michigan. The bill aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding these offenses, ensuring that penalties are appropriately aligned with the nature of the crimes committed.
