Bill overview
This bill amends the 1971 Age of Majority Act to lower the age at which a person is considered an adult for most legal purposes to 18 years old. It revises existing laws to align with this change, removing distinctions based on age that currently exist for various legal matters such as support payments, custody, and certain criminal statutes. The bill also clarifies that certain specific laws, including those related to marijuana and tobacco, are exempt from these changes. This legislation effectively raises the age of majority in Michigan.
