Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled"The Michigan penal code,"by amending section 159g (MCL 750.159g), as amended by 2022 PA 174.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan penal code by updating the definition of "racketeering" to include a technical change to the reference range of the Identity Theft Protection Act. Specifically, the bill modifies the legal citation for identity theft offenses from ending at section 445.79d to ending at section 445.80c, which appears to be a technical correction to align with recent updates to the identity theft legislation. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (Senate Bill 360) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted. The broader context is that this change ensures the racketeering definition accurately captures the full range of identity theft offenses under Michigan law, which is important for prosecuting complex financial crimes. The amendment is part of ongoing efforts to keep legal definitions precise and up-to-date, particularly in areas involving technological and financial criminal activities.
