VANDALIZED LICENSE PLATES S.B. 269: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 269 (as reported by the Committee of the Whole) Sponsor: Senator Doug Carl
Committee: Transportation and Tourism
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to provide that the fee required by the Code for a duplicate or replacement license plate would not have to be paid, if the application for the duplicate or replacement plate were accompanied by a copy of a law enforcement agency report indicating that the previous license plate or tab was destroyed, stolen, or rendered illegible by the action of a person other than the applicant.
Currently, a fee of $5 must be paid with each application for a duplicate or replacement license plate.
