AI Summary
This bill modifies the Michigan penal code's sections related to prostitution by replacing the term "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" and updating various legal provisions. The bill makes several key changes, including raising the age of potential victims from 16 to 18 years old, expanding definitions of criminal offenses related to sexual commerce, and providing more protections for individuals who may be victims of human trafficking. Notably, the bill introduces new language that allows for deferral of prosecution for individuals whose commercial sexual activity was a direct result of being a victim of human trafficking. The penalties for offenses vary depending on the specific actions and whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense, with potential imprisonment ranging from 93 days to 20 years and fines up to $20,000. The bill also updates provisions related to DNA sample collection for certain offenses and includes a provision that the bill will only take effect if 14 related house bills are also enacted into law. The changes appear aimed at providing a more nuanced and victim-centered approach to addressing commercial sexual activity, recognizing the potential for coercion and trafficking.
