House Bill 5758

Sponsor: Rep. Andrew Richner

Committee: Criminal Law and Corrections


Complete to 5-11-00



A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5758 AS INTRODUCED 5-9-00


The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure's statutory sentencing guidelines to comport with changes to the Uniform Commercial Code's Article 9 that would be adopted if House Bill 5228 were enacted. [House Bill 5228 represents the changes to Article 9 that have been recommended by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.] Specifically, House Bill 5758 would change the Michigan Compiled Law citation within the statutory sentencing guidelines for the crime of "Farming - illegal sale of secured products" to comport with the citation in House Bill 5228. House Bill 5758 is tie-barred to House Bill 5228 and would not take effect unless that bill were also enacted.
