Analysis & Obligations
MCL 777.17b
Sentencing guidelines for Chapter 752 felonies

Sec. 17b. This chapter applies to the following felonies enumerated in chapter 752 of the Michigan Compiled Laws:

752.272a(4)(c) — Pub saf — F — Sale or distribution of nitrous oxide device 2 or more prior convictions — Stat Max 4

752.365(3) — Pub ord — G — Obscenity subsequent offense — Stat Max 2

752.388(3) — Person — F — Dissemination of intimate deep fake with aggravating factors — Stat Max 3

752.541 — Pub saf — D — Riot — Stat Max 10

752.542 — Pub saf — D — Incitement to riot — Stat Max 10

752.542a — Pub saf — D — Riot in state correctional facilities — Stat Max 10

752.543 — Pub saf — G — Unlawful assembly — Stat Max 5

This section lists the felonies enumerated in Chapter 752 of the Michigan Compiled Laws to which the sentencing guidelines of Chapter XVII apply. The bill makes two changes to the existing table: it updates the cross-reference for the nitrous oxide device offense from 752.272a(2)(c) to 752.272a(4)(c), and it adds a new entry for 752.388(3) — dissemination of intimate deep fake with aggravating factors — classified as a Person crime, Class F felony, with a 3-year statutory maximum.

This is a criminal sentencing guideline provision. It does not impose any compliance obligations on AI developers, deployers, platforms, or other private parties. The underlying substantive offense would be created by the companion bill, HB 5569.

Enacting Section 1
Conditional enactment tied to HB 5569

Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect unless Senate Bill No.____ or House Bill No. 5569 (request no. 05282'24) of the 102nd Legislature is enacted into law.

This enacting section makes the entire amendatory act contingent on the enactment of the companion bill, HB 5569 (request no. 05282'24), which would create the underlying substantive offense of dissemination of intimate deep fake imagery. Without HB 5569, this sentencing-guideline amendment has no operative effect.
