Final Passage·7/3/26

Allows operation of golf carts on streets and county roads in certain municipalities.

This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow the operation of golf carts on streets and county roads in municipalities with populations under 65,000. It specifies safety requirements for golf carts, including headlamps, mirrors, and windshields. Golf carts must not be operated on sidewalks, state trunk line highways, or streets with speed limits over 30 mph. The bill also allows local governments to require golf carts and operators to be recorded and mandates that golf carts be operated at speeds not exceeding 15 mph.
