HB 6108 Summary

• Amends Michigan's criminal sentencing guidelines to add 33 election-related felonies to the sentencing classification system under MCL 777.11d.

• Establishes sentencing classes for election crimes ranging from Class E (5-year maximum) to Class G (2-4 year maximum), covering offenses such as signing petitions with multiple names, ballot tampering, voter intimidation, and election fraud.

• Classifies most election offenses as Class E felonies with 5-year maximum sentences, including forged signatures on absentee ballots, false statements in absentee ballot applications, and misconduct by election employees during recounts.

• Designates two offenses as Class G felonies with lower maximum sentences: filing false election statements (2 years) and election board refusal to provide challenger conveniences (2 years).
