House Bill 4847 (Substitute S-3 as passed by the Senate)
Sponsor: Representative Morris Hood
House Committee: Appropriations
Senate Committee: Appropriations


Date Completed: 11-13-08

CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to reduce driver license fee revenue to the Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF). For FY 2007-08, the reduction would be $13.0 million and for FY 2008-09, the reduction would be $6.0 million. Revenue to the General Fund would be increased by the same amount.


Under current law, $13.0 million in driver license fee revenue is deposited into the TEDF each year. The bill would direct that a portion or all of the money be deposited into the General Fund rather than the TEDF for FY 2007-08 and FY 2008-09.


This would implement a portion of the FY 2007-08 and FY 2008-09 budget agreements.
