The bill amends Section 520b of the Michigan Penal Code regarding criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. It specifies that a person is guilty of this offense if they engage in sexual penetration with another person under certain circumstances, including if the victim is under 13 years of age or between 13 and 16 years old and the actor has a specific relationship or position of authority over the victim. The bill also clarifies the definitions of coercion and the circumstances under which sexual penetration is considered a crime, including the use of force, threats, or the actor's position as an employee or volunteer in educational or childcare settings.

Additionally, the bill outlines the penalties for criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, which include life imprisonment or a term of years, with specific provisions for offenders aged 17 or older against victims under 13. It mandates lifetime electronic monitoring for certain offenders and allows for consecutive sentencing for related offenses. The amendments also include changes in language to ensure clarity, such as replacing "he or she" with "the person" and "his or her" with "the actor's." The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
