The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code, specifically section 626b, to clarify the language regarding individuals who operate vehicles in a careless or negligent manner. The term "person" is replaced with "individual," and the phrase "upon a highway or a frozen public lake, stream, or pond" is modified to "on a highway." Additionally, the bill broadens the definition of locations where such behavior is applicable to include "other places open to the general public," which encompasses areas designated for vehicle parking.

The amendment maintains that individuals who operate vehicles in a manner likely to endanger any person or property, without exhibiting wantonness or recklessness, are responsible for a civil infraction. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
