The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 16d of chapter XVII, which pertains to various felonies outlined in chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Notable insertions include the addition of specific assault-related offenses against employees and contractors of the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as provisions addressing assaults against pregnant individuals that result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or harm to the embryo or fetus. The bill categorizes these offenses with corresponding maximum penalties, reflecting a structured approach to addressing domestic violence and assaults on vulnerable populations.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if certain other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature are also enacted. This conditional enactment underscores the interconnected nature of legislative changes and the importance of comprehensive reform in addressing criminal offenses related to domestic violence and the protection of pregnant individuals.
