THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 811f. (1) The Except as otherwise provided in this

pickup truck or van used exclusively to transport personal

 

possessions or family members for nonbusiness purposes. The

 

secretary of state may, upon application, issue the agricultural

 

heritage fund-raising plate created in section 811n instead of a

 


standard registration plate to a person for use on a passenger

 

motor vehicle, a motor home, a pickup truck or van used exclusively

 

to transport personal possessions or family members for nonbusiness

 

purposes, a vehicle used in an agribusiness operation, or a

 

commercial motor vehicle.

 

     (2) A person may be issued a fund-raising plate for use on a

 

vehicle under this act by applying to the secretary of state

 

pursuant to under section 217. An application for an original fund-

 

raising plate shall be accompanied by a $25.00 fund-raising

 

donation, payment of the regular vehicle registration tax

 

prescribed under this act, and a $10.00 service fee. An application

 

for renewal of a fund-raising plate shall be accompanied by payment

 

of the vehicle registration tax required under section 801 and a

 

$10.00 fund-raising donation. Application for a replacement fund-

 

raising plate shall be accompanied by payment of only the fee

 

prescribed under section 804.

 

     (3) The secretary of state may issue a personalized fund-

the fees and donations prescribed under subsection (2) and the

 

regular vehicle registration tax prescribed under this act.

 

     (4) A disabled person who applies for a fund-raising plate

 

under this section and who pays the required service fees shall be

 

issued, as determined by the secretary of state, a disabled

 

person's plate as provided in section 803d for his or her fund-

 

raising plate. The secretary of state shall require the same proof

 

that the applicant is a disabled person as is required for issuance


of a permanent windshield placard under section 675.

 

     (5) A fund-raising plate expires pursuant to as provided in

 

section 226. The secretary of state may issue a tab or tabs

 

designating the month and year of expiration for an original or

 

renewal fund-raising plate.

 

     (6) The secretary of state may issue a temporary registration

vehicle registration will expire before his or her receipt of a

 

fund-raising plate. The temporary registration shall expire expires

 

upon the applicant's receipt of a fund-raising plate or upon the

 

expiration of 30 days after the date of issuance, whichever occurs

 

first. The temporary permit shall be issued without a separate fee.
