MI HB5807

Amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines to expand the definition of "predatory conduct" in offense variable 10 to include preoffense conduct directed at a law enforcement officer posing as a potential victim, in addition to conduct directed at an actual victim.

Clarifies that the mere existence of vulnerability factors (physical/mental disability, youth, agedness, domestic relationship, authority abuse, size/strength difference, or intoxication/impairment) does not automatically constitute victim exploitation.

Establishes definitions for key terms: "predatory conduct" means preoffense conduct for victimization purposes; "exploit" means to manipulate a victim for selfish or unethical purposes; "vulnerability" means readily apparent susceptibility to injury, restraint, persuasion, or temptation; and "abuse of authority status" means exploiting a victim through fear or deference to an authority figure.

Maintains the existing point-scoring system for offense variable 10, awarding 15 points for predatory conduct, 10 points for exploitation of vulnerable victims, 5 points for exploitation through physical advantages or incapacitation, and 0 points for non-exploitation.
