A REVISED SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5354 AS INTRODUCED 10-29-01
House Bill 5354 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to require that the secretary of state develop and issue two specialty license plates both red in color, one with the inscription "firefighter" and the other with the inscription "EMT." Under the bill, individuals who either were firefighters or EMTs (emergency medical technicians) could apply for the appropriate specialty registration plate, after providing to the secretary of state satisfactory proof of that status. An applicant for either plate would pay the regular registration tax and a $5 service fee. A renewal tab would be issued upon payment of the regular registration tax and sufficient proof that the individual was still a firefighter or EMT; however, a service fee would not be collected for the renewal tab.
