AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan criminal procedure code to add a new sentencing guideline for operating an unmanned vehicle in a restricted zone, which would be classified as a Class F public safety felony with a maximum sentence of 4 years. The bill updates a table of felony offenses related to aircraft and vehicle operations, specifically inserting a new entry for unmanned vehicle violations in restricted zones. This addition appears to be part of a broader legislative effort to regulate drone or autonomous vehicle usage in sensitive areas, such as airports or other restricted airspaces. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (House Bill 5321) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law. The new provision aims to establish clear legal consequences for unauthorized unmanned vehicle operations in restricted areas, potentially addressing emerging safety concerns related to drone or autonomous vehicle technology.
