Crimes: other; provision related to blasphemy; repeal. Repeals sec. 102 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.102).
HB 5253 repeals Michigan's 1931 blasphemy law (MCL 750.102) from the penal code. This procedural bill removes an outdated statute that criminalized blasphemy, which has not been enforced for decades. The repeal directly affects no current legal proceedings or individuals, as the law was obsolete. It makes no new policy changes but updates the state's legal code by eliminating a historical provision.
