AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's criminal code to update terminology and sentencing guidelines related to commercial sexual activity, replacing outdated terms like "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" throughout various sections of the law. The bill modifies several key provisions, including creating new offense levels for commercial sexual activity violations: a second offense is now a Class G felony, while a third or subsequent offense becomes a Class F felony. Additionally, the bill establishes a Class E felony for commercial sexual activity involving a person under 18 years of age. The changes also update language in multiple related statutes, such as those concerning keeping a place for commercial sexual activity, accepting earnings from such activities, and transporting individuals for commercial sexual activity. The bill aims to modernize legal language and provide more nuanced penalties for different levels of commercial sexual activity offenses. The amendments will take effect 90 days after enactment, but are contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 5016).
