Crimes: other; adultery law; repeal. Repeals secs. 29, 30, 31 & 32 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.29 et seq.).
This bill removes the state laws that currently make adultery a criminal offense in Michigan. By repealing specific sections of the penal code, the legislation eliminates the possibility of being charged or prosecuted for having an extramarital affair. The change directly affects married individuals who engage in affairs, as it decriminalizes behavior that was previously punishable under state law.
