HB 5322 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for using an unmanned vehicles in a restricted zone or flight path; provide for. Amends sec. 12k, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.12k). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5330'25

HB 5322 proposes to update Michigan's sentencing guidelines for crimes involving the unauthorized use of unmanned vehicles (like drones) in restricted zones or flight paths, such as near airports or government facilities. If passed, it would create specific sentencing rules for these offenses, directly affecting drone operators who violate such restrictions. The bill amends existing criminal procedure code section 777.12k to establish these new sentencing parameters for this specific violation. This is a policy change focused on clarifying penalties for drone misuse in sensitive areas, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
