A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4781 AS INTRODUCED 5-29-13
The bill would amend the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code to specify that an individual would not be eligible for more than two motorcycle temporary instruction permits in a 10-year period.
Currently under the Code, individuals 16 or 17 years of age who are enrolled in or have successfully completed an approved motorcycle safety course and individuals who are 18 years of age or older who hold a valid operator’s or chauffeur's license can obtain a motorcycle temporary instruction permit from the Secretary of State allowing them to operate a motorcycle on public streets and highways for a period of 180 days. In such a case, the permit holder must operate the motorcycle under the constant visual supervision of a licensed motorcycle operator who is at least 18 years old, cannot operate the motorcycle at night, and cannot operate the motorcycle with a passenger.
The bill, as noted, would add that an individual would be eligible for no more than two such temporary permits in a 10-year period, as of January 1, 2014.
