HB 5643 Summary

• Amends sentencing guidelines in Michigan's Code of Criminal Procedure to replace terminology of "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" throughout offense classifications and descriptions.

• Restructures sentencing classifications for commercial sexual activity violations, creating tiered offense categories (G, F, E, D, B, A) with varying maximum sentences based on offense type and repetition.

• Adds new offense categories for second and third-or-subsequent offenses of commercial sexual activity violations under MCL 750.451, with maximum sentences of 2 years and 4 years respectively.

• Updates descriptions of related offenses including soliciting minors under 18, pandering, transporting persons for commercial sexual activity, and human trafficking to use consistent "commercial sexual activity" terminology.

• Takes effect 90 days after enactment, but only if Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5655 is also enacted into law.
