The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 12e of chapter XVII, specifically addressing various felonies related to moving violations as outlined in the Michigan Vehicle Code. Key insertions include the classification of offenses such as causing death or serious injury in work zones or to vulnerable roadway users, as well as the degrees of fleeing and eluding offenses. The bill also introduces new classifications for violations involving the use of signal preemption devices, detailing the consequences for causing traffic accidents or serious impairments.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if Senate Bill No. 216 is also enacted. The amendments aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding traffic-related offenses, ensuring that penalties are appropriately categorized and reflective of the severity of the violations.
