A misdemeanor offense is differentiated from a felony offense by the penalty the legislature set. Misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum term in jail of NOT more than 1 year and/or a fine of NOT more than $1,000. Felonies are punishable by incarceration in state prison for a period of MORE than 1 year and/or a fine MORE than $1,000.
