Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for illicit use of xylazine; provide for. Amends sec. 13m of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.13m).
This bill amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines to specifically address the illicit use of xylazine, a synthetic opioid often mixed with other drugs. It directs the state's Sentencing Guidelines Commission to create a new guideline that considers the presence of xylazine when determining appropriate prison sentences for related offenses. The change aims to ensure that judges have a standardized framework for sentencing individuals involved in cases where xylazine is a factor, without altering the underlying criminal laws themselves.
