The Michigan House approved a two‑bill package aimed at reducing the length of mandatory driver‑license suspensions for people who experience seizures.
Representative Ann VanderWaal (role listed in the transcript as Representative VanderWaal) told the House that House Bills 4306 and 4307 would change a six‑month mandatory suspension to a three‑month suspension if a physician certifies that a person’s seizures are under control. The bills also allow suspensions shorter than three months in cases the doctor identifies as caused by controllable events or special circumstances such as a medication change. "This is a workforce issue. This is an economic issue. This is most importantly an issue of personal dignity," VanderWaal said.
The clerk announced the final passage of House Bill 4306 with 102 aye votes and 2 nay votes and of House Bill 4307 with 102 aye votes and 2 nay votes. The majority floor leader moved for immediate effect on both bills; the House ordered immediate effect.
Supporters cited research they said found no difference in accident rates between three‑month and six‑month suspensions. The bills’ supporters framed the change as reducing an undue burden on students, workers and others who lose access to transportation for extended periods.
Implementation: The bills amend the Michigan Vehicle Code (HB 4306) and the Public Health Code (HB 4307) as described in their titles; any administrative changes or rulemaking were not specified on the floor. The transcript records the roll‑call tallies for both final passages.
