H.B. 4369: COMMITTEE SUMMARY                                  NONPROFIT PLATES: RECYCLERS

House Bill 4369

Sponsor: Representative Frank M. Fitzgerald House Committee: Transportation

Senate Committee: Transportation and Tourism Date Completed: 5-24-95

SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4369 as passed by the House:

The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to include vehicles owned and operated by nonprofit recycling centers, until December 31, 2000, among the vehicles eligible for special registration plates that cost $10 and are valid for five years. Currently, these plates may be purchased by various nonprofit groups and the civil air patrol.

The bill would define “nonprofit recycling center” as a nonprofit facility designed and operated solely for receiving, storing, processing, and transferring source-separated recyclable materials, such as paper, metal, glass, food waste, office paper, and plastic, kept separate from residential, commercial, and institutional solid waste by the generator of the waste for the purposes of collection, disposition, and recycling.

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would result in a revenue loss to the Michigan Transportation Fund. The amount would depend on the number of vehicles that would qualify under the bill. The average annual cost of registration plates is $50.38 for passenger vehicles and $96.11 for trucks. Vehicles that would qualify under the bill would pay $10 for a five-year registration.
