The bill amends Section 520c of the Michigan Penal Code regarding criminal sexual conduct in the second degree. It specifies that a person is guilty of this offense if they engage in sexual contact 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 expands the definitions of relationships and positions that can lead to charges, including those involving employees or volunteers of schools, child care organizations, and correctional facilities.

Additionally, the bill modifies the penalties for criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, establishing that it is a felony punishable by imprisonment for life or any term of years, but not less than 10 years. It also mandates lifetime electronic monitoring for individuals 17 years of age or older who commit sexual contact against a victim under 13 years of age. The bill includes various insertions to clarify language and definitions, as well as deletions to streamline the existing law. The amendments are set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
