     A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled

 

"Michigan vehicle code,"

 

(MCL 257.1 to 257.923) by adding section 811o.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 811o. (1) Upon application and subject to subsection (3),

 

the secretary of state shall develop and may issue a registration

 

plate with an appropriate decal representing the rotary

 

international to an applicant for use on the passenger motor

 

vehicle, pickup truck, van, or motor home for which the plate is

 

issued. The decal shall contain the rotary international logo and

 

the words "100 years".

 

     (2) An application for a registration plate with the rotary

 


international decal shall be submitted to the secretary of state

 

pursuant to the procedures prescribed in section 217. In addition

 

to the regular registration tax imposed by section 801, each

 

application shall be accompanied with payment of $3.00 for the

 

first month and $2.00 per month for each additional month of the

 

registration period of the plate. Registration plates with the

 

rotary international decal shall expire on the applicant's birthday

 

as provided in section 226.

 

     (3) The rotary international may submit to the secretary of

 

state a design of a separate decal to be affixed to a registration

 

plate to implement this section. The secretary of state shall

 

confer with the department of state police to ensure the design

 

will not compromise the ability of law enforcement agencies to

 

accurately identify specific vehicles. Registration plates with the

 

rotary international decal shall not be a duplication of another

 

registration plate.

 

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

 

permit to a person who submits an application and the proper

 

payments for a registration plate with the rotary international

 

decal, if the applicant's current vehicle registration will expire

 

before his or her receipt of a registration plate with the rotary

 

international decal. The temporary registration shall expire upon

 

receipt of a registration plate with the rotary international decal

 

or 60 days after the issuance, whichever occurs first. The

 

temporary permit shall be issued without a separate fee.
