House Committee: Transportation
Senate Committee: Transportation and Tourism
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code's provisions on the sale and disclosure information maintained by the Secretary of State (SOS) to do the following:
-- Prohibit the SOS or any other State agency from selling any list of information maintained under the Code for the purpose of surveys, marketing, and solicitations.
-- Delete requirements that people be informed of their right to prohibit disclosure of personal information for surveys, marketing, and solicitations and given an opportunity to notify the Secretary of State of their desire not to have this information disclosed.
-- Provide that if the SOS sold a member of the State Legislature a list of information from the records maintained under the Code, the Secretary of State would have charge the same fee as the fee for the sale of bulk records, unless the member requested the list to carry out a legislative function.
The bill would take effect June 1, 2000.

FISCAL IMPACT
Due to fewer look-ups, the State could incur a loss of some look-up fee revenue. According to the Department of State, the provisions of House Bills 5227, 5230 (H-1), and 5270 could result in a $400,000 reduction in revenue to the look-up fee account. There would be no impact on local units of government.
