Program helps state residents regain driving privileges
The Michigan Department of State (MDOS), Department of Attorney General, and community partners recently launched a new round of Road to Restoration clinics to help drivers with suspended licenses take steps to restore their driving privileges.
The first clinic was held last week at CNS Healthcare in Detroit.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said the program “makes state government accessible to those who need our services the most, meeting people where they are in their communities.”
Last October, new state laws lifted license suspensions for drivers who failed to pay tickets or court fines or failed to appear in court for certain non-moving and other violations. In the months following, MDOS canceled infractions on the driving records of more than 350,000 Michiganders. However, many individuals must take additional measures before their licenses are restored.
The clinics are made possible by numerous partner organizations including the law firms of Miller Canfield, Dykema and Bodman along with the Detroit Justice Center and United Way.
Those who believe they may qualify to have their license reinstated can sign up for the next clinic near them at Michigan.gov/RoadtoRestoration.
