Description: | Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm signed two new laws into effect last week that will provide stiffer penalties for injuring or killing another person in a Michigan road construction work zone. The legislation (Public Acts 296 and 297 of 2008) will impose fines of up to $7,500 and up to 15 years in jail, for motorists who injure or kill anyone in a road construction work zone. Previously, similar penalties were applicable if a motorist injured or killed a road (or highway) worker. Public Act 296 extends the penalties to motorists who hit anyone in a work zone. |
