SB 779 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vehicles: driver training; instruction on slow-down and move-over laws; require. Amends sec. 39 of 2006 PA 384 (MCL 256.659).

SB 779 requires Michigan driver education programs to include two new topics in their segment 2 curriculum: (1) instruction on organ, tissue, and eye donation registration, using materials developed with the state organ procurement organization, and (2) teaching drivers how to safely approach and pass stationary emergency vehicles under Michigan's slow-down and move-over law (MCL 257.653a). This applies directly to all driver education providers and students enrolled in segment 2 courses. The bill adds these requirements to existing curriculum standards, such as minimum driving hours and classroom scheduling. It does not change licensing rules but mandates specific content within driver training programs.
