SENTENCING GUIDELINES REVISIONS
House Bill 4916
Sponsor: Rep. James Koetje
Committee: Criminal Justice
Complete to 9-26-03
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4916 AS INTRODUCED 7-2-03
Public Act 720 of 2002 made it a felony offense to buy, receive, or conceal a stolen motor vehicle. However, the legislative session ended before the companion bill, which would have amended the corresponding sentencing guidelines portion of the law, could complete the process. House Bill 4916 would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to specify that receiving or concealing a stolen motor vehicle would be a Class E felony involving property with a maximum term of imprisonment of five years.
The bill would also make a technical amendment to a citation referencing a section of the penal code pertaining to telecommunications violations. Specifically, the bill would clarify that a violation of MCL 750.540c(4) – a telecommunication violation – would be a Class F felony involving property with a four-year maximum term of imprisonment.
MCL 777.16z
