Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for motor vehicle sales finance violations; modify. Amends sec. 14p, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.14p). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5354'23
This bill modifies the sentencing guidelines used by Michigan courts for crimes involving violations of motor vehicle sales finance laws. By updating section 14p of the state's code of criminal procedure, it adjusts how judges determine punishment for these specific financial offenses. The change directly affects prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges who handle cases related to illegal practices in the auto financing industry. No new crimes are created; instead, the legislation alters the existing framework for assigning sentences in these matters.
