Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for killing or causing serious physical harm to a police dog, police horse, or a search and rescue dog; modify.

This bill proposes changes to Michigan's sentencing guidelines specifically for cases involving the killing or causing serious physical harm to police dogs, police horses, or search and rescue dogs. It directly affects prosecutors and judges who determine punishments for crimes against these animals by modifying the existing legal framework found in the Code of Criminal Procedure. The legislation aims to update how severe penalties are applied in these specific circumstances without altering the underlying definition of the offense itself.
