AI Summary

  • Adds the Mackinac Bridge (portions not open to or intended for public use) to the list of "key facilities" where unauthorized entry is prohibited under Michigan's penal code

  • Unauthorized entry onto a key facility remains a felony punishable by up to 4 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $2,500, or both

  • Removes the requirement that a key facility must be "completely enclosed" for the trespassing prohibition to apply, while retaining the requirement for physical barriers and posted signage

  • Establishes that leaving a barrier open during normal operating hours for official business is not a valid defense against prosecution for unauthorized entry

  • Maintains existing protections for lawful assembly, peaceful petitioning, and labor disputes between employers and employees
