MEDAL OF HONOR PLATES - S.B. 737 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 737 (Substitute S-2 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Bill Schuette
Committee: Transportation and Tourism
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to:
-- Require an application for a special Congressional Medal of Honor registration plate to include a $5 service fee and proof that the person received the Congressional Medal.
-- Exempt from payment of the vehicle registration fee a person who was issued a Congressional Medal of Honor specialty plate, and specify that the person would be entitled to only one specialty plate that was exempt from the registration fee.
-- Provide for the issuance of a tab for persons with disabilities who applied for a Medal of Honor specialty plate.
Currently, the Secretary of State is required to design a special Congressional Medal of Honor registration plate for State residents who received the Congressional Medal. A special registration plate may be issued only for one vehicle intended for personal use by the applicant.
