A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec.
811f. (1) The Except as
otherwise provided in this
subsection, the secretary of state may, upon application, issue 1
fund-raising plate instead of a standard registration plate to a
person for use on a passenger motor vehicle or motor home or a
pickup truck or van used exclusively to transport personal
possessions or family members for nonbusiness purposes. The
secretary of state may, upon application, issue the agricultural
heritage fund-raising plate created in section 811n instead of a
standard registration plate to a person for use on a passenger
motor vehicle, a motor home, a pickup truck or van used exclusively
to transport personal possessions or family members for nonbusiness
purposes, a vehicle used in an agribusiness operation, or a
commercial motor vehicle.
(2) A person may be issued a fund-raising plate for use on a
vehicle under this act by applying to the secretary of state
pursuant
to under section 217. An application for an original fund-
raising plate shall be accompanied by a $25.00 fund-raising
donation, payment of the regular vehicle registration tax
prescribed under this act, and a $10.00 service fee. An application
for renewal of a fund-raising plate shall be accompanied by payment
of the vehicle registration tax required under section 801 and a
$10.00 fund-raising donation. Application for a replacement fund-
raising plate shall be accompanied by payment of only the fee
prescribed under section 804.
(3) The secretary of state may issue a personalized fund-
raising plate upon application and the payment of the personalized
registration plate fee prescribed under section 803b in addition to
the fees and donations prescribed under subsection (2) and the
regular vehicle registration tax prescribed under this act.
(4) A disabled person who applies for a fund-raising plate
under this section and who pays the required service fees shall be
issued, as determined by the secretary of state, a disabled
person's plate as provided in section 803d for his or her fund-
raising plate. The secretary of state shall require the same proof
that the applicant is a disabled person as is required for issuance
of a permanent windshield placard under section 675.
(5)
A fund-raising plate expires pursuant to as provided in
section 226. The secretary of state may issue a tab or tabs
designating the month and year of expiration for an original or
renewal fund-raising plate.
(6) The secretary of state may issue a temporary registration
permit to a person who submits an application and the proper fees
and donation for a fund-raising plate, if the applicant's current
vehicle registration will expire before his or her receipt of a
fund-raising
plate. The temporary registration shall expire expires
upon the applicant's receipt of a fund-raising plate or upon the
expiration of 30 days after the date of issuance, whichever occurs
first. The temporary permit shall be issued without a separate fee.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
