Committee: Criminal Justice
Complete to 2-26-13
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4177 AS INTRODUCED 2-5-13
The bill would amend the Michigan Penal Code to revise the reference to vulnerable adult abuse as contained in the list of crimes that constitute first-degree murder. Included in the current definition of first-degree murder is murder that is perpetrated in the commission of "vulnerable adult abuse in the first and second degree" (or in the attempt to perpetrate such vulnerable adult abuse) under Section 145n of the code.
House Bill 4177 would refer instead to the commission of "vulnerable adult abuse in the first or second degree" (or the attempt).
