Bill > HB4244

This bill amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines for delivering, manufacturing, or possessing with intent to deliver heroin, fentanyl, or carfentanil. Specifically, it creates new sentencing categories for these opioids, with life sentences for 1,000 or more grams, and reduced sentences for lower amounts. The bill also adjusts the sentencing guidelines for certain other controlled substances, such as reducing the maximum sentence for delivery or manufacture of less than 50 grams of certain schedule 1 or 2 controlled substances from 20 years to 10 years. The bill is tied to the passage of another bill, House Bill 4243.
