Sec. 21. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, for 2
an offense enumerated in part 2 of this chapter, determine the 3
recommended minimum sentence range as follows: 4
(a) Find the offense category for the offense from part 2 of 5
this chapter. From section 22 of this chapter, determine the 6
offense variables to be scored for that offense category and score 7
only those offense variables for the offender as provided in part 4 8
of this chapter. Total those points to determine the offender's 9
offense variable level. 10
(b) Score all prior record variables for the offender as 11
provided in part 5 of this chapter. Total those points to determine 12
the offender's prior record variable level. 13
(c) Find the offense class for the offense from part 2 of this 14
chapter. Using the sentencing grid for that offense class in part 6 15
of this chapter, determine the recommended minimum sentence range 16
from the intersection of the offender's offense variable level and 17
prior record variable level. The recommended minimum sentence 18
within a sentencing grid is shown as a range of months or life. 19
(2) If the defendant was convicted of multiple offenses, 20
subject to section 14 of chapter XI, score each offense as provided 21
in this part. 22
(3) If the offender is being sentenced under section 10, 11, 23
or 12 of chapter IX, determine the offense category, offense class, 24
offense variable level, and prior record variable level based on 25
the underlying offense. To determine the recommended minimum 26
sentence range, increase the upper limit of the recommended minimum 27
sentence range determined under part 6 for the underlying offense 28
as follows: 29

(a) If the offender is being sentenced for a second felony, 1
25%. 2
(b) If the offender is being sentenced for a third felony, 3
50%. 4
(c) If the offender is being sentenced for a fourth or 5
subsequent felony, 100%. 6
(4) If the offender is being sentenced for a violation 7
described in section 18 of this chapter, both of the following 8
apply: 9
(a) Determine the offense variable level by scoring the 10
offense variables for the underlying offense and any additional 11
offense variables for the offense category indicated in section 18 12
of this chapter. 13
(b) Determine the offense class based on the underlying 14
offense. If there are multiple underlying felony offenses, the 15
offense class is the same as that of the underlying felony offense 16
with the highest crime class. If there are multiple underlying 17
offenses but only 1 is a felony, the offense class is the same as 18
that of the underlying felony offense. If no underlying offense is 19
a felony, the offense class is G. 20
(5) If the offender is being sentenced for an attempted felony 21
described in section 19 of this chapter, determine the offense 22
variable level and prior record variable level based on the 23
underlying attempted offense. 24
(6) If the offender being sentenced is a veteran and the court 25
finds that there is a clear connection between the offense and a 26
condition from the offender's military service, the lower limit of 27
the recommended minimum sentence range is 0 months. Sentencing 28
below the lower limit of the otherwise applicable minimum sentence 29
