A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4486 AS INTRODUCED 3-20-01
Currently, the Michigan Vehicle Code requires the driver of a motor vehicle that is involved in an accident that injures or kills someone or that damages property to an apparent extent totaling $400 or more, to immediately report that accident "at the nearest or most convenient police station, or to the nearest or most convenient police officer." The bill would raise the property damage amount from the current $400 to $1,000.
