                                                                     SUMMARY OF INTRODUCED BILL

                                                                                              IN COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 1203 (as introduced 10-13-22)

Sponsor:  Senator Curtis Hertel

Committee:  Appropriations

Date Completed:  11-28-22

CONTENT

This bill would amend the Limousine, Taxicab, and Transportation Network Company Act to extend a sunset date, from March 21, 2023, to September 30, 2027. The extension would maintain the variable renewal fees established under Public Act 345 of 2016, which eliminated the flat $50 fee that existed previously. The variable fees increase according to the number of vehicles being registered by an applicant according to the schedule below.

Number of Vehicles Registered	Fee
10	$550
11-25	$1,000
26-100	$2,500
101-500	$5,000
501-1,000	$10,000
More than 1,000	$30,000

MCL 257.2104

FISCAL IMPACT

This bill would have a positive fiscal impact on the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Extending the sunset for these fees is expected to result in a $281,400 increase in revenue for the Department. If the bill were not enacted, the fee would revert to the $50 flat rate, and the Department would not see this increased revenue.
