MI HB5345

Amends Michigan's criminal sexual conduct statute (MCL 750.520a) to update definitions related to mental conditions and disabilities.

Replaces outdated terminology "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation" with current definitions of "intellectual disability" and "developmental disability."

Defines "developmental disability" as an impairment of intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior originating before age 18 that substantially burdens the person's ability to function in society, including conditions such as intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism.

Adds definitions for "mental health professional," "mental illness," "mentally disabled," and related terms to provide clarity in criminal sexual conduct cases.

Took effect immediately upon Governor's approval on March 28, 2014.
