Bill > HB5745

This bill amends Michigan's criminal procedure code to add new sentencing guidelines for specific firearm offenses, specifically focusing on the act of discharging a firearm from a vehicle or at a dwelling or potentially occupied structure. The bill introduces two new offenses: discharging a firearm at a potentially occupied motor vehicle, classified as a Class D felony with a maximum sentence of 10 years, and discharging a firearm at a motor vehicle potentially occupied by a minor, classified as a Class B felony with a maximum sentence of 20 years. These additions are part of a larger list of felonies that have established sentencing categories and maximum penalties, with "Pub saf" referring to public safety offenses and "Person" indicating offenses directly impacting individuals. The bill also includes standard enacting clauses, specifying that it takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent upon the passage of another related bill.
