Sponsor: Rep. Charles LaSata

Committee: Transportation

Complete to 4-11-01

A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4519 AS INTRODUCED 3-22-01

House Bill 4519 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to specify that the owner of a vehicle who transferred the vehicle title but not the registration plate or tab would be entitled to a refund of the pro rata share for each whole month remaining on the registration, beginning from the date the plate or tab was returned and the application for a refund was made. Currently under the law, the owner of a vehicle can obtain a refund on the registration for each unused, whole registration period remaining on the registration.
