Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled"The code of criminal procedure,"by amending section 16x of chapter XVII (MCL 777.16x), as amended by 2012 PA 323.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to update sentencing guidelines for disarming a law enforcement officer, specifically adding a new provision that creates a more severe penalty for disarming a peace officer of a firearm using violence or force. The bill introduces a new subsection (750.479b(3)) that classifies this offense as a Class C felony with a maximum sentence of 15 years, which is more serious than the existing Class D felony (750.479b(2)) for disarming an officer of a firearm without specifying the method of disarmament. This change appears designed to provide additional legal protection for law enforcement officers by imposing stricter penalties on those who use violence to remove an officer's firearm. The bill will take effect 90 days after enactment and is tied to the passage of a companion bill (House Bill 5079), meaning both must be enacted into law for this amendment to take effect.
