Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “An act to revise, consolidate, codify, and add to the statutes relating to crimes; to define crimes and prescribe the penalties and remedies; to provide for restitution under certain circumstances; to provide for the competency of evidence at the trial of persons accused of crime; to provide immunity from prosecution for certain witnesses appearing at criminal trials; to provide for liability for damages; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act,” by amending section 552c (MCL 750.552c), as added by 2005 PA 305.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to designate the Mackinac Bridge, specifically the portions not open to the public, as a "key facility," which is defined as a critical infrastructure or essential service location that is enclosed by a physical barrier and properly posted with signage. The bill makes it a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison or a $2,500 fine, for anyone to intentionally enter or remain on the premises of a key facility without authorization, with exceptions for lawful assembly or peaceful petitioning, and clarifies that open gates during business hours do not serve as a defense.
