Michigan House Bill 6259 proposes to amend the state's criminal procedure code by updating the sentencing guidelines for specific felonies, including various degrees of criminal sexual conduct and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of these offenses by establishing or modifying the statutory maximum sentences and offense categories used by judges to determine punishment. It is a procedural measure that takes effect 90 days after enactment, provided that two related bills, HB 6261 and HB 6262, are also passed into law during the same legislative session.
