Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled"The Michigan penal code,"by amending sections 448, 449, 450, 451, 454, and 462 (MCL 750.448, 750.449, 750.450, 750.451, 750.454, and 750.462), section 448 as amended by 2002 PA 45, sections 449 and 462 as amended by 2002 PA 46, section 450 as amended by 2014 PA 326, section 451 as amended by 2016 PA 338, and section 454 as amended by 2002 PA 672.
AI Summary
This bill, amending Michigan's penal code, primarily raises the age of consent for prostitution-related offenses from 16 to 18 years old, meaning individuals under 18 are now considered minors in these contexts. It also modifies penalties for various prostitution-related crimes, including soliciting, profiting from prostitution, and leasing property for such purposes, generally increasing fines and potential jail time, especially for repeat offenders, and introducing felony charges for certain offenses. Notably, the bill introduces a provision for deferred prosecution for first-time offenders, requiring participation in a human trafficking awareness program, and strengthens protections for minors by presuming they were coerced if involved in prostitution or human trafficking, mandating prompt investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services. The definition of "prior conviction" for enhanced sentencing is also expanded to include a wider range of prostitution and human trafficking offenses.
