Crimes: larceny; use of a computer or similar technology to program a key code for automobile theft; prohibit, and provide penalties. Amends sec. 116 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.116).

This bill amends Michigan's penal code to specifically address the use of technology for automobile theft. It makes it a felony punishable by up to five years in prison for anyone who possesses tools or electronic devices designed to unlock or start a vehicle with the intent to steal it. The law further increases the penalty to up to ten years if the offender is part of a criminal organization targeting multiple vehicles. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that previously issued keys or cards belonging to the lawful owner are not considered prohibited tools under this statute.
