An act to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “An act to revise, consolidate, codify, and add to the statutes relating to crimes; to define crimes and prescribe the penalties and remedies; to provide for restitution under certain circumstances; to provide for the competency of evidence at the trial of persons accused of crime; to provide immunity from prosecution for certain witnesses appearing at criminal trials; to provide for liability for damages; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act,” by amending section 335 (MCL 750.335), as amended by 2002 PA 672.
Senate Bill 56 would amend Chapter XLVIII (Indecency and Immorality) of the Michigan Penal Code. Currently, any man or woman who are not married to each other, and who lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together, are guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to $1,000. The bill would eliminate this crime.
