Abstract
(HB5767 · 103rd Legislature) Vehicles: driver training; instruction in work zone safety; require. Amends 2006 PA 384 (MCL 256.621 - 256.705) by adding sec. 40. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5768’26 Latest action (2026-06-24): Placed On Third Reading
Why this matters
Driver training curriculum requirements determine what Michigan teens must learn before earning a license, and legislators periodically add mandated topics (distracted driving, emergency vehicle interactions, etc.). Adding work zone safety would give driver education providers a new required instructional element and reflects a broader pattern of using the driver-ed curriculum as a public-safety lever.
