A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4175 AS INTRODUCED 1-30-07
The bill would amend Section 309 of the Michigan Vehicle Code to permit the Secretary of State to waive requirements of a driving skills test, knowledge test, or road sign test of an applicant who, at the time of the application, is the holder of a driver license issued by an active or reserve component of any branch of the United States armed forces that is valid and unrevoked or that has been expired for less than one year.
This would be in addition to the current exception for the holder of a valid, unrevoked operator's or chauffeur's licensed issued by another state or country.
The bill also would specify that a person who forges, counterfeits, or alters a satisfactory completed driving skills test certification would be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment up to five years, or a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000 or both.
