Consumer protection: identity theft; references to identity theft protection act in Michigan penal code; revise. Amends sec. 159g of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.159g).

This bill updates Michigan's penal code to clarify which crimes are considered part of racketeering activity, a serious charge involving a pattern of illegal behavior for financial gain. It achieves this by adding a specific reference to the state's Identity Theft Protection Act into the list of offenses that qualify as racketeering. The legislation also expands the definition to include crimes committed in other states or under federal law that are substantially similar to those already listed in the statute. Ultimately, the bill aims to ensure that identity theft and related financial frauds are consistently treated as part of organized criminal patterns when prosecuted under racketeering laws.
