Criminal procedure: sentencing; death penalty; allow under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 46, art. IV of the state constitution.

This bill proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution to allow the death penalty in specific cases. It would permit the legislature to impose the death penalty for sexual crimes committed against victims who are under 18 years old. Currently, the state constitution generally prohibits laws that provide for the death penalty, so this measure would create a narrow exception for this category of crime. If passed by the legislature, the amendment would be sent to voters for approval at the next general election.
