HB 5995 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Traffic control: driver license; points from violations captured by automated traffic enforcement devices; prohibit. Amends sec. 320a of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.320a).

This bill proposes to prohibit the assignment of driver license points for violations detected by automated traffic enforcement devices. It directly affects drivers in Michigan who receive citations from cameras or sensors rather than human officers. The key mechanism is an amendment to the state vehicle code that removes the ability for these automated systems to trigger point penalties on licenses. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of review and has not yet been passed into law.
