Why this matters
Michigan’s penal code protects a defined set of ‘key facilities’ — bridges, power plants, water systems, and similar sites — from criminal trespass, and that same list is referenced by newer drone-trespass, sentencing, and downing-authorization bills. Expanding sec. 552c therefore ripples outward across the entire critical-infrastructure enforcement stack, changing which sites benefit from heightened protection without requiring changes to the trespass-conduct statutes themselves.
