Should intentionally leaving a child in a hot car be a crime?

It could be in Michigan in the near future as this Detroit Free Press article discusses a new bill which would punish people who leave children in a hot car regardless of whether or not that child is injured and provide greater penalties if a child is injured.

The bill changes the definition of fourth degree child abuse to include, "(b) The person knowingly or intentionally commits an act likely to cause physical harm to a child, regardless of whether physical harm results."
