AI Summary

  • Amends the Michigan Insurance Code (1956 PA 218) to modify security requirements for motor vehicles driven on highways by allowing certain vehicles to be excluded from mandatory automobile insurance coverage.

  • Adds "power-driven mobility device" to the list of vehicles excluded from the definition of "motor vehicle," meaning wheelchairs and battery-powered mobility devices designed for individuals with disabilities are not required to carry automobile insurance.

  • Clarifies that a "commercial quadricycle" (a pedal-powered or motor-assisted vehicle with at least 4 wheels and 6 passenger seats used for commercial purposes) is excluded from motor vehicle insurance requirements.

  • Allows insurers to permit owners of motor vehicles not driven on highways to delete portions of their insurance coverage and maintain only comprehensive coverage.

  • Takes effect only if House Bill No. 5045 of the 97th Legislature is enacted into law, with the power-driven mobility device definition applied retroactively.
