MICHIGAN / U.P. - New bill in Michigan would require drivers over age 75 to take tests every 4 years to keep their drivers’ license.  The proposed would require drivers 75 and older to take a written knowledge test, a vision test and a road test every four years.  For drivers 85 and older, the tests would be required every year.  The bill comes after a 94-year-old driver hit and killed a woman in 2024.

MADISON - The Wisconsin Elections Commission is warning voters not to bet on election outcomes because it could disqualify their ballot.  Popular prediction sites like Kalshi and Polymarket show thousands of dollars on the line for upcoming statewide races.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission said it has not received any complaints regarding bets on elections, nor has the commission disqualified someone’s ballot election betting.  According to the Legislative Reference Bureau, voting as a disqualified voter constitutes election fraud, which is a felony.
