HB 5696 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Vehicles: automobiles; noise limitations; modify. Amends secs. 252d, 320a, 707b, 707c, 707d, 732 & 907 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.252d et seq.).

This bill updates the Michigan Vehicle Code to modify how points are assigned to various traffic convictions and infractions. It directly affects drivers, insurance companies, and the Secretary of State by changing the specific point values associated with different violations. The key change involves adjusting the point totals for speeding offenses, where exceeding the speed limit by more than 15 miles per hour now carries 4 points instead of 6, and speeding between 10 and 15 miles per hour over the limit is reduced to 3 points. Additionally, the bill clarifies that points will not be assessed for certain non-moving violations such as overweight loads or defective equipment. These adjustments aim to refine the driver's license point system to better reflect the severity of specific traffic behaviors.
