order forfeiture, the court shall review the defendant's driving

 

record to determine whether the defendant has multiple convictions

 

under section 625 or a local ordinance substantially corresponding

 

to section 625, or multiple suspensions, restrictions, or denials

 

under section 904, or both. If the defendant has multiple

over the forfeiture proceedings to the unit or units of government

 

substantially involved in effecting the forfeiture. Seventy-five

subdivision shall be used to enhance enforcement of the criminal

 

laws and 25% of the money shall be used to implement the William

 

Van Regenmorter crime victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.751

 

to 780.834. A unit of government receiving money under this

 

subdivision shall report annually to the department of management

substantial prejudice as a result of that failure.
