AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's criminal code to update sentencing guidelines by adding a new felony offense related to disclosing confidential information about abortion. Specifically, the bill adds section 333.2835(8) to the existing law, which creates a Class G felony for improperly revealing confidential information connected to abortion services. The provision is classified under the "Public Trust" category and carries a maximum sentence of 3 years. The bill also makes minor technical changes to language in other sections of the criminal code, such as clarifying wording around HIV disclosure. Notably, the bill has a tie-bar provision, meaning it will only take effect if a companion bill (Senate Bill S04533'25 or House Bill 5201) is also enacted. The changes are part of a broader update to Michigan's criminal sentencing guidelines, focusing on protecting the confidentiality of sensitive medical information related to reproductive healthcare.
