Bill > SB0155

This bill amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to add several new criminal offenses related to interfering with access to health care facilities, establishing specific sentencing guidelines for these offenses. The new provisions create graduated penalties for different levels of interference, ranging from nonviolent obstruction to causing bodily injury or death. Specifically, the bill introduces four new criminal offenses: interfering with access to a health facility as a second or subsequent offense (Class G felony with a maximum 3-year sentence), interfering by nonviolent physical obstruction as a second or subsequent offense (Class H felony with a maximum 1.5-year sentence), interfering that causes bodily injury (Class D felony with a maximum 10-year sentence), and interfering that causes death (Class A felony with a potential life sentence). The bill is tied to another pending legislative bill and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law. The provisions are part of a broader set of sentencing guidelines for various health care and public safety related offenses, and aim to protect access to health care facilities by establishing clear legal consequences for deliberate interference.
