Circuit courts now have the ability to determine eligibility of individuals seeking restricted driving privileges under legislation signed this week by Gov. Rick Snyder.
“This bill increases accountability in regard to issuing restricted licenses when appropriate, which will help keep motorists safety in the forefront of such decisions,” Snyder said.
The legislation, sponsored by state Rep. Peter Lucido, grants circuit courts the ability, under certain circumstances, to determine if an individual who has been denied the reinstatement of their driver’s license should be eligible to receive a restricted driving license.
Meanwhile, Snyder signed legislation amending the Michigan Renaissance Zone Act to allow a business in a renaissance zone to make a payment of lieu of taxes to any taxing jurisdiction within the local unit of government in which the zone is located.
This change would only apply to MSF-designated renaissance zones.
