Michigan Has Some New Laws For 2016

With the new year comes new laws from the state of Michigan. According to WILX, there are several new laws that you need to be aware of for the new year. Here are just a few:

• A driver is now allowed to show proof of insurance on a mobile device instead of having a hard copy in the vehicle.
• Sales of powdered alcohol are banned in Michigan.
• Health departments will no longer have to do on-site inspections of places like concession stands that serve what’s considered “low risk” food, such as pre-cooked hotdogs, popcorn or ice cream.
• Residents who use a service dog are allowed to take them to public places without being turned away, except in very limited instances.
• A new, ‘Blue” alert (similar to an Amber alert) will be issued when there is a search underway for someone who may have hurt or killed a police officer.
