Michigan HB4691 amends sentencing for fleeing and eluding police, with mandatory minimum sentences based on resulting injuries.
Michigan HB4691 amends the state's vehicle code to establish mandatory sentencing for fleeing and eluding police officers. The bill introduces varying degrees of felony charges based on the severity of injuries caused during the evasion. For instance, fourth-degree fleeing and eluding, a felony, is punishable by imprisonment for 182 days to 2 years if it results in serious bodily disfigurement or impairment of a body organ or limb. If the evasion results in a collision or accident, the charge escalates to third-degree fleeing and eluding, with a penalty of imprisonment for 1 to 5 years.
