Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for attempting to make illegal purchase of firearms; enact. Amends sec. 16m, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.16m).

This bill amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines to establish specific penalty ranges for attempting to illegally purchase firearms. It directly affects individuals who try to buy guns using false identification or knowingly violate state laws regarding firearm sales. The key provision sets the maximum sentence for this attempted purchase at two years in prison, a specific category within the state's broader list of firearm-related offenses. By adding this explicit sentencing tier, the legislation clarifies how courts should handle cases where a gun purchase attempt fails or is interrupted.
