Section 12, like several other sections in Chapter 17, lists a number of felony violations contained in Michigan law, specifying their Michigan Compiled Law (MCL) citation, crime category, felony class, offense description, and statutory maximum sentence.


Section 12 includes sentencing guidelines designations for violations of MCL Chapters 200 to 299. Under the bill, those designations would be listed under proposed Sections 12a to 12n.
