Crimes: penalties; penalties for discharging a firearm at a motor vehicle; increase fines if a minor is in the vehicle. Amends 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.1 - 750.568) by adding sec. 234g.

This bill, known as Messiah's Law, creates a new felony offense for intentionally firing a gun at a vehicle the shooter knows or should know is occupied. The law directly affects individuals who commit this act and establishes penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If a minor is present in the vehicle, the penalties increase to up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The legislation amends Michigan's penal code by adding a specific section to address this conduct. The bill would take effect 90 days after being signed into law.
