MI HB5129

Amends the Driver Education Provider and Instructor Act to modify segment 1 curriculum requirements for driver education programs.

Requires classroom instruction to include information about Michigan Vehicle Code section 653a, mandating drivers proceed with caution and yield the right-of-way to stationary authorized emergency vehicles and encouraging them to move over or slow down for any stationary vehicle with activated warning lamps.

Maintains existing requirements: minimum 24 hours classroom instruction (not more than 2 hours per day, over 3 or more weeks) and minimum 6 hours behind-the-wheel instruction (not more than 1 hour per day).

Prohibits teen driver training providers from substituting behind-the-wheel instruction with multiple vehicle driving facility experience or simulator device training unless written approval is obtained from the Secretary of State.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment; this section is titled the "Nathan Bower Act."
