VEHICLE REGISTRATION H.B. 5200: FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 5200 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Philip LaJoy
House Committee: Transportation
Senate Committee: Transportation
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to include violations of other states' drunk-driving laws in provisions that prohibit the Secretary of State (SOS) from issuing or transferring a vehicle registration, and prohibit a person whose license has been suspended, revoked, or denied from purchasing a motor vehicle, due to multiple offenses involving drunk driving or driving without a license.
The bill also would require a vehicle owner to indorse an assignment of the title as required by the SOS, rather than on the back of the certificate.
In addition, the bill would eliminate a limit on the number of characters that may be included in a personalized fund-raising license plate.
