AI Summary
This bill modifies the Michigan Probate Code to update language related to sexual activity and juvenile proceedings, primarily focusing on replacing outdated terminology around prostitution with more contemporary and sensitive phrasing. Specifically, the bill replaces terms like "prostitute" and "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" across several sections of the legal code. The changes appear in multiple contexts, including describing jurisdictional circumstances for juvenile courts, defining abuse, and specifying DNA collection requirements. For instance, in sections describing when a juvenile court has jurisdiction, the bill replaces phrases like "house of prostitution" with "house in which commercial sexual activity is committed" and updates references to "prostitutes" to "persons who provide or offer to provide commercial sexual activity." The bill aims to use more neutral and descriptive language while maintaining the legal substance of the existing statutes. The amendments will take effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 5016), and apply to various sections of Michigan's legal code governing juvenile proceedings and criminal justice procedures.
