The bill amends the Michigan Penal Code by modifying section 316 and adding a new section 410d. In section 316, it specifies that individuals guilty of first-degree murder will face life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for various types of murder, including those committed during the commission of certain felonies. Notably, the bill adds "a violation of section 410d" to the list of crimes that can lead to a first-degree murder charge. Additionally, it clarifies the language regarding the duties of peace officers and corrections officers, replacing gender-specific pronouns with neutral terms.

Section 410d introduces penalties for individuals who intentionally make false reports of crimes. The penalties vary based on the consequences of the false report, with potential imprisonment ranging from 10 to 20 years, depending on whether property damage, physical injury, or serious impairment of a body function results from the false report. The section also outlines the jurisdiction for prosecution and clarifies that individuals can face additional charges for other violations stemming from the same conduct. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
