The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 16y of chapter XVII, which pertains to the categorization of certain felonies. It introduces new legal language that specifies the categories and maximum sentences for various offenses, including first, second, and third-degree criminal sexual conduct, as well as other serious crimes such as armed robbery and carjacking. Notably, the bill clarifies the maximum sentences for these offenses, indicating life imprisonment for the most severe crimes and specific terms for others.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for its enactment, stating that it will take effect 90 days after being signed into law, but only if certain other bills from the 103rd Legislature are also enacted. This conditional enactment ensures that the changes to the criminal procedure are aligned with broader legislative reforms.
