A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4881 AS INTRODUCED 9-28-99


Under current law, sexual contact by an employee or volunteer of the Department of Corrections, a county, or a juvenile facility with a prisoner or probationer or other person under the jurisdiction of those entities is defined as fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years imprisonment, a fine of up to $500, or both. House Bill 4881 would amend the Michigan Penal Code to, instead, define such contact as second degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment.
