Bill > HB5310

This bill amends the Michigan Penal Code to increase the penalties for individuals who knowingly enter or remain in key facilities, such as chemical plants, refineries, and utility infrastructure, that are completely enclosed and posted with signage. The bill adds the Mackinac Bridge and the Houghton-Hancock Bridge to the list of key facilities, and increases the maximum penalty from 4 years imprisonment and a $2,500 fine to 1 year imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. The bill also creates a new felony offense punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and a $25,000 fine if the individual enters the key facility with the intent to commit another felony. The bill maintains an exception for lawful assembly and peaceful petitions for the redress of grievances, including labor disputes.
