LANSING — Michigan drivers will soon be able to show proof of their auto insurance on a phone or other mobile device during traffic stops, instead of providing a hard copy.

Gov. Snyder signed legislation allowing the digital proof on Wednesday. The law will take effect in three months.

Snyder said the law is intended to modernize government and make everyday life easier for residents. Other legislation the governor approved this week includes a law that renames a portion of U.S. 12 in Berrien Highway for Steven DeVries, a state trooper shot and killed while apprehending a bank robber in 1972.
