Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled"The Michigan penal code,"by repealing section 102 (MCL 750.102).
AI Summary
This bill proposes to repeal Section 102 of the Michigan Penal Code (specifically, MCL 750.102), which appears to be related to blasphemy laws. While the specific details of the original section are not provided in the bill text, the repeal suggests that Michigan is removing an outdated criminal statute that likely criminalized blasphemous speech or actions against religious beliefs. By repealing this section, the state would be eliminating a potential legal restriction on free speech related to religious expression. The bill is straightforward, with a single enacting section that simply removes the existing law from the Michigan Penal Code without providing any additional context or replacement provisions.
