This bill amends the Age of Majority Act of 1971 by updating the definitions and legal capacities associated with individuals aged 18 and older. It establishes that individuals who are 18 years of age or older are considered adults with the same rights, responsibilities, and legal capacities as those who are 21 years of age or older. The bill also clarifies that a court may 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 responsibilities on individuals aged 18 to 20 compared to those who are 21 and older. It lists specific laws that are affected by this change, ensuring that the new provisions take precedence. However, the bill explicitly states that it does 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.
