Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for certain early voting violations under the Michigan election law; update references. Amends sec. 11d, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.11d).
This bill updates the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure to include specific sentencing guidelines for early voting violations under state election law. It directly affects judges and prosecutors who must determine appropriate sentences for individuals convicted of these specific election offenses. The legislation amends an existing section to ensure that penalties for early voting infractions are clearly defined within the state's sentencing framework. By modifying the referenced statute, the bill standardizes how courts handle these particular cases without changing the underlying election laws themselves.
