HB 4929 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Traffic control: civil infraction procedures; revised judicature act; revise to reflect distribution of certain fines to school districts. Amends secs. 8379 & 8396 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.8379 & 600.8396).

This bill updates Michigan laws to clarify how fines and costs from civil traffic infractions are distributed among local governments. It primarily affects county treasurers, city and township officials, and the political subdivisions where traffic violations occur. Under the new rules, most fines for local traffic code violations will be split between the county and the specific city or township where the violation happened, with a portion also going to library funds. A special provision ensures that fines from camera-based red-light or speed camera tickets are distributed according to existing vehicle code guidelines. Additionally, the law allows local districts to agree on alternative sharing arrangements for these funds if all involved parties consent.
