Lansing The Michigan House on Wednesday approved two bills that would allow first-drunken driving offenders to have their record expunged and explore Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s willingness to sign legislation similar to what she rejected in January.
The 93-17 vote to pass the bills Wednesday marked the second time the legislation has gained broad support in the House, with a previous version of the bills being vetoed. On Wednesday, 16 of the bills no votes came from House Republicans.
The bills move next to the Michigan Senate for consideration.
Rep. Tenisha Yancey, D-Harper Woods, and Rep. Joe Bellino, R-Monroe, introduced the bills last month with bipartisan support.
