95TH LEGISLATURE

REGULAR SESSION OF 2010

Introduced by Senator Cropsey

ENROLLED SENATE BILL No. 1196

AN ACT to amend 1967 PA 291, entitled “An act to authorize state universities and colleges to enact parking, traffic and pedestrian ordinances and to provide for the enforcement of the ordinances; and to dispose of fines collected,” by amending section 2a (MCL 390.892a), as amended by 1998 PA 441.

The People of the State of Michigan enact:

Sec. 2a. (1) The governing board of a state university or college that enacts an ordinance under section 1 may establish a civil fine for any violation of the ordinance designated as a civil infraction by the governing board.

(2) If a civil infraction included in an ordinance enacted by the governing board of a state university or college under section 1 substantially corresponds to a provision of the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923, a civil fine established by the governing board for that infraction shall not exceed the maximum civil fine for the substantially corresponding provision of that act described in section 907 of the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.907. A civil fine in excess of the amount prescribed in section 907 of the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.907, is in conflict with that act and is void to the extent of the conflict.

(3) An ordinance enacted under section 1 shall not impose a misdemeanor penalty for an act or omission that is a civil infraction under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923.

(4) Except as provided in section 3, the violation of a provision designated as a civil infraction in an ordinance enacted under section 1 shall be processed in the same manner as a civil infraction under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
