Last week, the Ann Arbor City Council unanimously voted to officially adopt a new ordinance limiting the ability of police to stop drivers.

The Driving Equality Ordinance bars police from pulling over drivers for minor violations unless the violations pose an immediate danger.

Michigan drivers will soon be able to select a 2-year option for renewing vehicle registration under new legislation signed Wednesday.

Gretchen Whitmer has extended the deadline to renew drivers licenses, ID cards and vehicle registrations to the end of September. I am pleased to continue to work with the Legislature to codify significant Executive Orders that help Michiganders cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, Whitmer said. We have been continually assessing the safest way to maintain branch operations and this legislation will go a long way toward those efforts.Many transactions, including vehicle registration renewals, dont have to be conducted in person. Automobile, motorcycle and watercraft registration renewals also can be completed at one of the 122 Self-Service Stations located around the state. Residents who need to schedule an appointment can do so online at Michigan.gov/SOS or by calling 888-SOS-MICH.
