A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “The Michigan penal code,” by amending section 317a (MCL 750.317a), as added by 2005 PA 167.
This bill proposes an amendment to the 1931 Michigan Penal Code, specifically section 317a, which was initially added by the 2005 PA 167. The amendment aims to make it a felony, punishable by life imprisonment or a term of years, for anyone to deliver a schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance, excluding marijuana, in violation of section 7401 of the public health code, if the substance is consumed and causes death. The bill outlines that violations can be prosecuted in the county where the substance was delivered, consumed, or where the resulting death occurred. The amendment will take effect 90 days after enactment, but only if Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4025 of the 102nd Legislature is also enacted into law.
