Crimes: trespassing; penalties for trespassing; increase. Amends sec. 552 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.552).

This bill aims to increase the penalties for trespassing in Michigan. It proposes changes to existing laws to make the consequences for trespassing more severe. The goal is to deter individuals from unlawfully entering private property.

Supporters of the bill argue that increasing penalties for trespassing will better protect property rights and enhance public safety. They believe that stricter consequences will deter criminal behavior and provide a stronger sense of security for property owners.

Critics of the bill contend that raising penalties for trespassing could lead to overly harsh consequences for minor offenses. They argue that it may disproportionately impact vulnerable populations and raise concerns about the potential for misuse of the law against individuals who may inadvertently trespass.
