SB 431 amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines (MCL 777.13m) to adjust penalties for individuals convicted of delivering, manufacturing, or possessing with intent to deliver heroin or fentanyl. The bill directly affects people facing criminal charges for these specific drug offenses under current law. It changes the sentencing structure by modifying the existing guidelines in the criminal procedure code, which would influence judges' sentencing decisions for these cases. The bill does not create new crimes but alters the recommended sentencing ranges for these drug-related convictions.
