TITLING DRIVER ED. VEHICLES - S.B. 1243: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 1243 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Bill Bullard, Jr.
Committee: Transportation and Tourism
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to exempt from certain vehicle titling requirements a vehicle loaned or leased to a political subdivision of the State for use as a driver education vehicle.
The Code requires that an application for a certificate of title contain certain information, including whether the vehicle is to be or has been used as a taxi or police vehicle, or by a political subdivision of the State. Under the bill, a certificate of title for a vehicle owned by a dealer and loaned or leased to a political subdivision of the State for use as a driver education vehicle would be exempt from having to include this information.
A certificate of title also must contain certain information, including whether the vehicle is to be used or has been used as a taxi, as a police vehicle, or by a political subdivision of the State. The Code exempts from this requirement a vehicle owned by a dealer and loaned to a political subdivision of the State for use as a driver education vehicle. Under the bill, this exemption also would apply to a dealer-owned vehicle that had been leased to a political subdivision for use as a driver education vehicle.
The Code also requires that a certificate of title for a police vehicle, a vehicle owned by a political subdivision of the State, a salvage vehicle, a rebuilt vehicle, and a scrap vehicle be different in color from the certificate of title for all other vehicles. Under the bill, this requirement would not apply to a vehicle loaned or leased to a political subdivision of the State for use as a driver education vehicle.
