Chamber Passed·6/24/25

Enhances penalties for moving violations causing injury or death to vulnerable roadway users.

The bill amends Michigan's vehicle code to enhance penalties for moving violations that cause physical injury or death to vulnerable roadway users. It introduces new definitions for "vulnerable roadway user" and "vulnerable transportation device," and increases fines and potential imprisonment for those causing injury or death to such users. The bill also modifies the point system for traffic violations and revokes certain licenses under specific conditions. The changes take effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on the passage of Senate Bill No. 217.
