This 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 for offenses such as causing death or serious injury in work zones or to vulnerable roadway users, as well as various degrees of fleeing and eluding law enforcement. Notably, the bill introduces new legal language that specifies the categorization of these offenses, including changes to the classification of certain violations from "operator of implement of husbandry" to "vulnerable roadway user."

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 ensures that the changes made by this bill are aligned with broader legislative efforts concerning traffic safety and enforcement in Michigan.
