Abstract
(HB5768 · 103rd Legislature) Traffic control: driver license; instruction in work zone safety; require. Amends secs. 309 & 310e of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.309 & 257.310e) & adds sec. 309a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5767’26 Latest action (2026-06-24): Placed On Third Reading
Why this matters
For Michigan teens seeking a driver’s license and the driver education providers who train them, this package (HB 5767 + HB 5768) would add work zone safety as a required instructional topic before licensure. Because the two bills are tie-barred, neither takes effect without the other, so the curriculum change hinges on both moving together through the Legislature.
