AI Analysis – Experimental

House Bill 4527 and House Bill 4528 would amend 1937 PA 10, which prohibits the driver of a vehicle from approaching a crosswalk or any other pedestrian crossing without taking all necessary precautions to avoid accident or injury to a blind pedestrian carrying a cane or using a walker or a service animal. Currently, a person who violates the above prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for up to 90 days or a fine of up to $100, or both. This would significantly increase the jail time or fines.
