Short answer: Only state‑approved courses qualify for ticket benefits. In Florida, confirm FLHSMV‑approved BDI providers; in Michigan, take BDIC from an approved sponsor and pass within 60 days of SOS notification.
What to do next
- Florida: Verify BDI rules and find the approved list on FLHSMV.
- Michigan: Read your SOS notice and use an approved BDIC sponsor.
- Keep receipts and follow any county/court instructions.
