Committee: Commerce
Complete to 4-4-02
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5804 AS INTRODUCED 3-14-02
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow a vehicle to be designated as a flood vehicle on a certificate of title. The term "flood vehicle" would refer to a vehicle that had been submerged in water to the point that water entered the passenger compartment or trunk over the sill of the trunk floor pan or door sill.
Currently, a vehicle brought into the state from another state or jurisdiction that has a rebuilt, salvage, scrap, or comparable certificate of title issued by that other state or jurisdiction would be issued a rebuilt, salvage, or scrap certificate of title in this state. The bill would add to that list a "flood" certificate of title.
