A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4238 AS INTRODUCED 2-18-03

Currently, the Michigan Vehicle Code requires the driver of a motor vehicle that is involved in an accident that injures or kills someone or that damages property to an apparent extent totaling $400 or more, to immediately report that accident to the police. The bill would raise the property damage amount from the current $400 to $1,000.
