A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” by amending section 17b of chapter XVII (MCL 777.17b), as added by 2002 PA 28.
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.
