The proposed bill seeks to amend the Michigan Penal Code by adding a new section, 234g, which establishes penalties for individuals who intentionally discharge a firearm at a motor vehicle that they know or have reason to believe is occupied. Under this new provision, such an act is classified as a felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

Additionally, the bill stipulates a more severe penalty for individuals who discharge a firearm at a vehicle occupied by a minor, increasing the potential imprisonment to up to 15 years and the fine to $20,000. The bill is titled "Messiah's Law" and is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
