The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code, specifically section 726c, to update the requirements for duly authorized agents of county road commissions when enforcing certain sections of the law. The amendment mandates that these agents must wear a clearly visible shoulder patch that identifies the branch of government they represent.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous restriction that prohibited these agents from carrying firearms unless they were licensed or certified as police officers under the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act. This change allows for greater flexibility in the enforcement capabilities of county road commission agents while ensuring they maintain visible identification during their duties.
