Crimes: other; delivery of a controlled substance causing death; amend. Amends sec. 317a of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.317a).
This bill proposes to amend Michigan's penal code to clarify the penalties for delivering specific controlled substances that result in death. It directly affects individuals who provide Schedule 1 or 2 drugs, excluding marijuana, to others in violation of state health laws. The key provision ensures that if such a delivery leads to the death of the recipient or anyone else, the offender faces a felony charge punishable by life imprisonment or a term of years. The legislation includes a condition stating that it will only become effective if a related companion bill is also passed into law.
