Sponsor: Representative Scott Shackleton
House Committee: Transportation
Senate Committee: Transportation
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to lower the minimum age of a school crossing guard from 17 to 18.
Currently, a school crossing guard must be at least 18 years old and authorized to supervise children using a school crossing as provided in Section 613c of the Code. That section requires a person to have a minimum of four hours of instruction before performing the duties of a school crossing guard and two hours of additional instruction before the beginning of each school year. The courses must be approved by the Department of Education and the Department of State Police and conducted by the local law enforcement agency with immediate jurisdiction of the crossing or its designee. Under the bill, a person who was at least 17 could be a school crossing guard as long as he or she fulfilled the training requirements.MCL 257.57b - Legislative Analyst: Julie Koval
