HB 5913: Criminal procedure: sentencing; mandatory sentencing for certain crimes regarding contraband in prisons; require. Amends secs. 1, 3, 3a & 5 of 1909 PA 17 (MCL 800.281 et seq.).

HB 5913 strengthens Michigan's existing laws against contraband in prisons by establishing mandatory minimum sentences for specific violations. The bill directly affects anyone who sells, gives, or furnishes weapons, drugs, or wireless communication devices to prisoners, as well as prisoners who possess these items. Under the new provisions, bringing weapons or drugs into a correctional facility carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of one year, while possessing weapons inside a facility mandates a minimum of 15 years in prison. Additionally, the bill requires that confiscated but functional cell phones be donated to charities supporting military personnel rather than being destroyed. These changes aim to increase penalties for individuals who facilitate the entry of prohibited items into correctional facilities.

HB 5909: Criminal procedure: sentencing; mandatory sentencing for certain crimes in the Medicaid false claim act; require. Amends sec. 6 of 1977 PA 72 (MCL 400.606).

This bill proposes to increase the mandatory minimum prison sentence for individuals convicted of conspiring to defraud the state of Michigan by submitting false Medicaid claims. Under the current law, such offenses are felonies punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $50,000, but this legislation would require a minimum sentence of 2 years and 6 months for anyone found guilty. The change directly affects healthcare providers, billing companies, and other entities or individuals involved in submitting false claims for Medicaid reimbursement. If passed, the amendment would take effect 90 days after it is signed into law.

HB 5836: Holidays: other; Cesar E. Chavez Day; eliminate. Amends title of 2003 PA 225 (MCL 435.301 - 435.304) & repeals sec. 1 of 2003 PA 225 (MCL 435.301).

This bill removes the official designation of March 31 as Cesar E. Chavez Day from Michigan state law. By repealing the specific section of the 2003 Public Act that established this holiday, the legislation eliminates the legal requirement for Cesar E. Chavez Day to be recognized as a state holiday. The change does not affect other designated holidays in the state, such as Fred Korematsu Day or President Gerald R. Ford Day.
