Introduced
by
To require a person applying for a drivers license to provide documents showing the applicant's full legal name history and date of birth, his or her address and residency, and which demonstrate that the applicant is a U.S. citizen, is an alien lawfully admitted for permanent or temporary residence, or has conditional permanent resident status in the U.S. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to verify that the documents are genuine, check applicants against a federal citizenship database, and use digital photos on drivers licenses. It would also raise drivers license fees by $10, and renewal fees by $12. The bill would bring Michigan drivers licenses into compliance with the federal REAL ID Act.

Amendment offered
by
To repeal the “driver responsibility fees” imposed by <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-509">Public Act 165 of 2003</a>, and make up the revenue by imposing a new $35 "assessment" on each moving violation conviction, on top of a current $15 fee. Note: Under current law, except for these "bad driver" surtaxes, revenue from regular driving law violations does not go to the state general fund, in order to avoid creating direct fiscal incentives for writing more tickets.
