The bill amends section 16m of chapter XVII of the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically addressing various felonies related to firearms as outlined in chapter 750 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Notable insertions include the addition of specific categories and maximum penalties for offenses such as the sale of firearms to minors, possession of firearms by prohibited persons, and discharging firearms in or at occupied structures. The bill also introduces new classifications for certain offenses, such as discharging a firearm from a vehicle and threatening violent acts against school property.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if House Bill No. 5744 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted. The amendments aim to enhance public safety by clarifying penalties and classifications for firearm-related offenses, thereby providing a more structured legal framework for addressing these issues.
