AI Summary
This bill proposes amendments to the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically modifying how offense variables are scored for different categories of crimes when determining sentencing guidelines. The bill makes minor changes to the scoring requirements for crimes against property by adding offense variables 7 and 11 to the list of variables that must be scored, while leaving the scoring requirements for other crime categories (crimes against persons, controlled substances, public order, public trust, and public safety) largely unchanged. Offense variables are specific factors that judges and prosecutors use to assess the severity of a criminal offense and determine appropriate sentencing. The bill is tied to two other house bills (HB 4645 and HB 4647) and will only take effect if those companion bills are also enacted into law. The changes appear to be technical in nature and are designed to refine the existing sentencing guideline framework by ensuring a more comprehensive assessment of certain property-related offenses.
