Bill > HB6261

This bill modifies Michigan's criminal laws regarding criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, which generally involves non-consensual sexual contact rather than sexual penetration, by significantly increasing the potential prison sentence. Under the proposed changes, a person convicted of this felony will face a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years, with the possibility of a sentence up to life imprisonment, replacing the previous maximum cap of 15 years. Additionally, the legislation maintains the requirement that offenders aged 17 or older convicted of committing this offense against a victim under 13 years of age must also be sentenced to lifetime electronic monitoring upon release, and the changes are scheduled to take effect 90 days after the bill is officially enacted into law.
