Abstract

(HB5651 · 103rd Legislature) Traffic control: speed restrictions; enforcement of speed restrictions in school zones; modify. Amends sec. 627a of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.627a). Latest action (2026-06-16): Referred To Second Reading

Why this matters

School zone speed enforcement is a recurring touchpoint in Michigan traffic-safety policy, sitting alongside work zone rules as a place where the Vehicle Code sets reduced-speed regimes with enhanced penalties. Tracking amendments to MCL 257.627a helps show how the Legislature calibrates enforcement tools around vulnerable road users near schools.
