REMOVE DRIVERS LICENSE DISQUALIFICATION http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa
FOR PRIOR MOVING VIOLATIONS
Analysis available at
House Bill 5103 as reported from committee http://www.legislature.mi.gov
Sponsor: Rep. Donavan McKinney
Committee: Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure
Complete to 10-26-23
(Enacted as Public Act 42 of 2024)
SUMMARY:
House Bill 5103 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to remove a provision that now
disqualifies someone from getting a driver’s license if within the previous three years they
had two or more moving violations that occurred before the issuance of an original license.
Specifically, the code now prohibits the secretary of state from issuing a license to an
individual who, within the preceding three years, has been convicted of, received a juvenile
disposition for, or been determined responsible for two or more moving violations under a
Michigan law, a local ordinance substantially corresponding to a Michigan law, or a law
of another state substantially corresponding to a Michigan law, if the violations occurred
before issuance of an original license in Michigan, in another state, or in another country.
The bill would remove that provision.
The bill would take effect March 1, 2024.
MCL 257.303 and 257.304
FISCAL IMPACT:
The bill would have no substantial fiscal impact on the Department of State. Removing the
eligibility requirement for receiving a license would result in an increase in the number of
licenses issued. Any additional revenue from transaction fees for issuing licenses would be
largely offset by costs of material resources and wages related to issuing the license.
The bill would have no fiscal impact on local units of government.
