MI SB0928

Amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines (MCL 777.17c) under the Criminal Code of Procedure to add new felony offenses related to unlawful computer access and motor vehicle electronic systems.

Establishes sentencing classifications for computer fraud offenses: Class E felony (5-year maximum) for fraud involving 2 prior convictions or $1,000-$20,000 in value, and Class D felony (10-year maximum) for 3+ prior convictions or $20,000+ in value.

Creates sentencing guidelines for unlawfully accessing computers, computer systems, or computer programs: Class E felony (5 years) for first offense, and Class D felony (10 years) with prior conviction; Class A felony (life imprisonment) if such access results in death.

Establishes variable sentencing classes (G through B) for using computers to commit crimes based on the underlying offense's maximum penalty, ranging from 2 years to 20 years.

Specifies that sentencing for violations involving motor vehicle electronic systems shall be determined based on the underlying offense's category, offense variable level, and prior record variable level; takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent on Senate Bill 927 also being enacted into law.
