Bill overview
This bill updates Michigan’s criminal sentencing guidelines to specifically address the dissemination of deep fake sexual images. It modifies existing felony classifications under Michigan Compiled Law 777.17b to include a new category for offenses involving the creation and distribution of intimate deep fakes, particularly when aggravating factors are present. The bill’s implementation is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 831 and House Bill 4047. These changes aim to provide clearer legal frameworks for prosecuting offenses related to this emerging technology.
