AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Michigan's penal code regarding firearms. It clarifies that willfully altering, removing, or obliterating the identifying marks on a firearm is a felony, and possessing such a firearm is presumed to mean the possessor altered it, with an exception for antique firearms. The bill also modifies exemptions for certain individuals, such as corrections department employees and private youth correctional facility employees, who are authorized to carry concealed weapons while performing their duties, requiring them to be trained on the use, effects, and risks of portable devices or weapons. Additionally, it adjusts the penalties and exceptions for possessing firearms in weapon-free school zones, including specific provisions for individuals transporting students and clarifying the definition of "school" and "school property." Finally, the bill repeals several sections of the Michigan penal code related to firearms.
