Senate Bill 760 (as reported without amendment) Sponsor: Senator Philip E. Hoffman

The bill would amend the Michigan Penal Code to repeal a provision that makes it a misdemeanor to defraud a livery stable keeper, and requires the owner of a livery stable to post the prohibition, in the barn or stable, in large English type.

The bill would have no fiscal impact on State government, and likely little impact on local government.
The current penalty for defrauding a livery owner is a misdemeanor. While there are no data available on how many annual convictions there are under this section, the cost as a result of these convictions is not expected to be significant. In addition, defrauding a livery owner could be charged under other existing general fraud statutes.
