To allow an individual subject to the “driver responsibility fee” (“bad driver fee”) that are assessed for various violations and must be paid for two consecutive years to opt to pay the fee in a single payment. These very expensive fees were originally <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-509">adopted in 2003</a> to raise revenue so as avoid spending cuts in that year’s and subsequent state government budgets.
