Bill > HB5426

This bill amends the Michigan criminal procedure code by adding a new sentencing guideline for a specific criminal offense involving registered sex offenders. Specifically, the bill inserts a new provision under section 28.725d(3), categorizing it as a public order felony (Class F) with a maximum sentence of 4 years, related to employment restrictions for registered sex offenders. The new offense appears to prohibit sex offenders from working at certain businesses, though the exact details of the employment restriction are not provided in the bill text. The amendment will take effect 90 days after enactment, but is contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 5425). The bill is part of a larger table of criminal offenses and their corresponding sentencing guidelines, which includes various infractions related to false statements, firearm regulations, and sex offender registration requirements. The addition of this new provision suggests an effort to further regulate the employment opportunities of registered sex offenders, likely to protect vulnerable populations such as minors.
