A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5576 AS INTRODUCED 1-29-02
Currently, Section 15 of Chapter XVII of the Code of Criminal Procedure lists the statutory maximum number of years imprisonment for felonies enumerated in Chapters 500 to 749 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The bill would instead break this large range of compiled laws into smaller sections. For example, under the bill, Section 15a would apply to felonies enumerated in Chapters 500 to 550 of the compiled laws, Section 15b would apply to felonies enumerated in Chapters 551 to 570, and so forth.
MCL 777.15 et al.
