Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for crimes against animals; revise. Amends sec. 22, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.22).

This bill proposes to update Michigan's sentencing guidelines by modifying the specific factors judges consider when determining punishments for various crimes. It directly affects the judicial process by changing how points are assigned for offenses against persons, property, controlled substances, public order, and public safety. The key change involves adjusting which offense variables are scored for different crime categories, though the bill's final effect is currently contingent on the passage of two other related bills.
