This bill amends the Age of Majority Act of 1971 by updating the legal age of adulthood and clarifying the responsibilities and rights associated with it. Specifically, it establishes that individuals who are 18 years of age or older are considered adults for all legal purposes, effective from January 1, 1972. The bill also allows courts to order support payments for individuals aged 18 and older under various specified acts, including the Child Custody Act and the Family Support Act.

Additionally, the bill supersedes existing laws that impose different duties and rights on individuals aged 18 to 20 compared to those who are 21 years old. It lists several specific laws that are affected by this change. However, it clarifies that the new provisions do not apply to certain regulations, such as those related to the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act and the Nicotine and Tobacco Act. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of several other specified bills in the legislature.
