UPDATE PENALTIES FOR FELONIOUS DRIVING
House Bill 4813
Sponsor: Rep. Ruth Johnson
Committee: Criminal Justice
Complete to 5-24-01
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4813 AS INTRODUCED 5-23-01
House Bill 4813 is a companion bill to House Bill 4596, which would repeal Public Act 214 of 1931 (which prohibits felonious driving), and place a similar provision within the Michigan Vehicle Code. Currently, the vehicle code requires the secretary of state to suspend a person's driver's license for one year for a violation of Section 1 of Public Act 214. House Bill 4813 would amend this provision of the code to instead refer to a violation of Section 626c, which would be placed in the code by House Bill 4596. House Bill 4813 would also make several technical corrections to references within the code necessitated by recent legislative action.
House Bill 4813 would take effect January 1, 2002. The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4596.
