Fleeing and eluding became a felony in Michigan with the enactment of Public Act 153 of 1998, which took effect on January 1, 1999. This law established penalties for individuals who attempt to evade law enforcement while operating a vehicle. Prior to this, fleeing and eluding was typically classified as a misdemeanor. The change aimed to enhance public safety and the authority of law enforcement in pursuit situations.
