Allows golf carts to operate on streets and county roads in certain Michigan municipalities.

This bill amends Michigan law to allow golf carts to operate on streets and county roads in municipalities with populations under 65,000. It outlines specific safety requirements for golf carts, including headlamps, tail lamps, stop lamps, reflectors, mirrors, brakes, horns, windshields, and safety belts. Golf carts must not be operated on sidewalks, state trunk line highways, or highways with speed limits over 30 mph, except to cross them. Golf carts must also not be operated between 30 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise.
