This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 12e of chapter XVII, which pertains to specific felonies related to moving violations under the Michigan Vehicle Code. The amendments include the addition of new categories and classifications for various offenses, such as moving violations causing death or serious injury in work zones or to vulnerable roadway users. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications for offenses related to fleeing and eluding, as well as the use of signal preemption devices, specifying the consequences for causing traffic accidents or serious impairments.

Additionally, the bill removes certain outdated legal language, such as references to "operator of implement of husbandry," and replaces it with more relevant terms like "vulnerable roadway user." The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 216 and will take effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
