AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure to update sentencing guidelines for certain environmental violations, specifically adding new categories for offenses related to carbon sequestration, which is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The changes include creating new felony classifications for violations of sequestration permits and for actions that endanger public safety in relation to sequestration activities, with associated maximum prison sentences of two and five years respectively. Additionally, the bill clarifies existing offenses related to false affidavits and records concerning oil and gas wells, removing references to a specific environmental act (NREPA) and focusing on the falsification itself. This legislation is contingent on the enactment of several other related bills.
