Senate Bill 682 (as introduced 1-11-24)

Sponsor: Senator John Damoose

Committee: Transportation and Infrastructure

 

Date Completed: 2-12-24

The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to prohibit an individual operating a vehicle on a highway or street that was closed to nonemergency motor vehicles from exceeding 15 miles per hour. An individual who violated this prohibition would be responsible for a civil infraction.

 

Proposed MCL 257.628b Legislative Analyst: Abby Schneider

 

FISCAL IMPACT

 

The bill could have a positive fiscal impact for local governments. A civil fine, generally up to $100, could be imposed for a violation of the bill. Any revenue received from civil fines goes to help fund local and county libraries. The amount of revenue is indeterminate and depends on the number of actual violations.
