Traffic control: traffic regulation; authorized agent of county road commission; allow to carry firearm under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 726c of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.726c).

HB 5337 amends Michigan's Vehicle Code to allow county road commission agents who are licensed or certified as police officers under state law to carry firearms while enforcing specific traffic regulations. Currently, such agents are prohibited from carrying weapons during enforcement unless they hold police certification. The bill directly affects county road commission employees who enforce traffic laws (sections 215, 255, 631(1), 717, 719, 719a, 720, 722, 724, 725, and 726). It changes the existing rule by permitting firearm carry only for agents meeting police certification standards, not broadly expanding the ability to carry weapons.
