2018 House Bill 6011 / Public Act 621

Enroll state in multistate driver license compact

Introduced in the House

May 16, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Jeff Noble (R-20)

To enroll Michigan in a national driver license compact that, as described by Ballotpedia, was created to “share driver's license information and traffic violation records with other states for legal purposes” and establishes that “traffic offenses committed by drivers in other states be treated as if they were committed in their home states.” Michigan is reportedly one of five states that do not participate in this. For drivers this would mean that a traffic violation in another state would generate "points" on their Michigan drivers license, and vice versa.
