Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; reference to section of the Michigan occupational safety and health act; amend to reflect repeal. Amends sec. 14b, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.14b). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0049'25

This bill updates Michigan's sentencing guidelines by removing references to a section of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act that has been repealed. It specifically amends a section of the state's criminal procedure laws to reflect this change. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation, SB 0049.

Supporters of this bill argue that it simplifies and clarifies the state's sentencing guidelines by ensuring they are up-to-date with current laws. By removing outdated references, the bill enhances the efficiency of the legal system and helps ensure that justice is administered fairly.

Critics may contend that this bill is merely a bureaucratic adjustment that does not address more significant issues within the criminal justice system. They might argue that focusing on such technical amendments distracts from the need for comprehensive reform in sentencing practices and public safety measures.
