MI HB6455

Changes statutory language from "shall" to "must" and "sentencing" to "sentenced" throughout MCL 769.12 for grammatical consistency in describing habitual offender sentencing requirements.

Modifies the definition of "listed prior felony" to reference MCL 750.136b(1) instead of 750.136b(2), adjusting which child abuse convictions qualify as prior felonies for habitual offender enhancement purposes.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent upon passage of Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 6454.

Applies to persons convicted of 3 or more felonies who commit a subsequent felony, establishing enhanced sentencing provisions including mandatory minimum 25-year sentences for serious crimes with qualifying prior convictions.
