Crimes: assaultive; harassing, interfering with, or injuring a letter carrier; prohibit, and provide penalties. Amends sec. 81d of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.81d).

This bill strengthens penalties for assaulting or interfering with letter carriers by adding them to the list of protected workers under Michigan's existing assault laws. It makes it a felony to harm, obstruct, or endanger anyone performing their duties, including postal workers, with increased prison terms and fines depending on the severity of the injury. The law applies to any individual who knows or should know the person is working, and penalties range from up to two years in prison for minor offenses to up to 20 years if the victim dies. The bill does not prevent additional charges for other crimes committed during the same incident and allows prison sentences to be served consecutively to other related convictions.
