The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code, specifically section 626b, to update the language regarding individuals who operate vehicles in a careless or negligent manner. The term "a person" is replaced with "an individual," and the phrase "upon a highway or a frozen public lake, stream, or pond" is changed to "on a highway." Additionally, the reference to "other place open to the general public including an area designated for the parking of vehicles" remains intact, emphasizing the broad scope of locations where careless driving can occur.

The bill clarifies 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 enactment of this amendment will take effect 90 days after it is signed into law.
