AI Summary

This bill modifies the sentencing guidelines for various environmental and public safety-related felonies in Michigan by updating the references to specific subsections within Chapter 324 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The bill primarily changes the referenced sections for water pollution offenses, specifically replacing the reference to section 324.3115(4) with 324.3115(5), and includes several other environmental violations such as air pollution, hazardous waste, littering, and improper handling of industrial substances. The changes affect the classification and maximum sentencing for these offenses, which are categorized by public safety (Pub saf) and public trust (Pub trst) classes ranging from H (highest) to C (lowest). The bill's enactment is contingent upon the passage of a related House Bill, indicating it is part of a broader legislative package addressing environmental criminal penalties. The modifications aim to update and potentially refine the legal framework for prosecuting environmental violations in Michigan.
