Summary

The bill amends Michigan’s driver‑licensing statutes to let youths as young as 14 years, 9 months obtain a Level 1 license if they pass a vision test, have parent or guardian approval, and complete either homeschool driver training or the first segment of a state‑approved driver‑education course. It adds Level 2 and Level 3 stages that require additional driving experience, safety testing, and clean driving records, and it sets nighttime and passenger limits along with civil penalties for violations.
