CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to establish an 18-hour deadline for the removal of abandoned vehicles with valid registration plates from a State trunk line highway. If the abandoned vehicle did not contain a valid registration plate, it could be removed immediately.
Currently, if any vehicle abandoned on a State highway is not removed within 24 hours after the date a notice was affixed to the vehicle by a police agency, the vehicle is considered abandoned and may be taken into custody.
