Bill > HB4852

This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to modify the process for driver's license reinstatement and court review of driver's license suspensions or revocations. The bill changes several key provisions, including updating terminology from "person" to "individual" throughout the text and adding new requirements for communication from the Secretary of State after a court order. Specifically, when a court modifies or sets aside a license restriction, revocation, suspension, or denial, the Secretary of State must now send written correspondence to the petitioner within 7 days that includes: (1) confirmation of receiving the court order, (2) notification that the petitioner may be examined and must meet licensing qualifications, and (3) information about any applicable reinstatement fees. The bill also clarifies the court's review process for license-related determinations, including the conditions under which a court can set aside the Secretary of State's decision or grant restricted driving privileges. For individuals seeking restricted driving privileges, the bill maintains requirements such as installing an ignition interlock device, maintaining no-fault insurance, and facing potential license revocation for violations. The changes aim to provide clearer communication and more structured processes for individuals seeking to reinstate or modify their driving privileges after a suspension or revocation.
