Bill > HB4939

This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure to update sentencing guidelines by adding two new offenses related to the distribution of prohibited material. Specifically, the bill introduces two new entries in the sentencing guidelines table: Section 752.1073(1) for "Distribution of prohibited material" and Section 752.1073(2) for "Aggravated distribution of prohibited material". Both offenses are classified as Class B public order crimes, with maximum sentences of 20 years for the first offense and 25 years for the aggravated offense. The bill ties its effectiveness to the passage of House Bill 4938 and will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law. The added sections are part of a broader table of felony offenses that outline criminal classifications, descriptions, and maximum sentencing guidelines across various categories such as property and public order crimes. This update appears to be part of a broader effort to refine and clarify sentencing guidelines for specific types of criminal offenses in Michigan.
