PENAL CODE REPEALER - S.B. 1084: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 1084 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Dale L. Shugars
Committee: Government Operations
CONTENT
The bill would repeal Section 502 of the Michigan Penal Code, which requires a retailer or wholesaler dealing in gasoline, benzine, and naphtha to label all receptacles containing those substances with the proper name; and requires a person purchasing these substances to keep them in properly labeled containers. A person who violates these provisions is guilty of a misdemeanor.
MCL 750.502 - Legislative Analyst: G. Towne
FISCAL IMPACT
Senate Bill 1084 would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on local government. There are no statewide data currently available to indicate how many offenders a year (if any) are convicted of a misdemeanor for carrying benzine or gasoline without proper identification. Local units of government would receive the fine revenue or incur the cost of incarceration for these offenses.
