Statutory Penalties Fines in Michigan

For a misdemeanor punishable under Michigan’s general penalty statute, the maximum term of imprisonment is 365 days. This one-year ceiling is set by MCL § 750.504, which applies when no other penalty is expressly provided for the offense. The statute works in tandem with MCL § 750.503 (defining the misdemeanor classification) and § 769.5 (sentencing authority), while § 750.505 governs common-law offenses. The law does not prescribe a fixed dollar amount; instead, it authorizes a fine and imprisonment up to the statutory maximum. Additional factors and exceptions are detailed in the official source.
