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. The amendments include the addition of new classifications and descriptions for offenses such as causing death or serious injury in work zones or to vulnerable roadway users. Notably, the bill introduces new legal language that specifies the categorization of these offenses, including changes to the classification of certain violations, such as moving violations causing death to vulnerable roadway users and the implications of using signal preemption devices.

Additionally, the bill establishes that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but it is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 216 from the 103rd Legislature. This legislative action aims to enhance public safety by clarifying the legal framework surrounding serious traffic offenses and ensuring appropriate penalties are in place for violations that endanger lives on the road.
