A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled “Michigan vehicle code,” by amending the title and section 219 (MCL 257.219), as amended by 2018 PA 74, and by adding sections 820a and 820b.
The bill focuses on various aspects of vehicle regulation including registration, titling, sale, transfer, and the licensing of dealers. It also covers the examination and control of vehicle operators, financial responsibility requirements, tax collection, and the regulation of streets and highways.
A significant part of the bill is dedicated to the enforcement of tolls, including the authority of the Secretary of State to refuse vehicle registration for reasons such as fraudulent applications, stolen vehicles, suspended licenses, unpaid fees, and compliance with federal regulations. The bill outlines a tolling enforcement program, detailing methods for identifying vehicle owners, issuing notices, charging service fees, and resolving disputes. It emphasizes data sharing standards and the responsibilities of toll operators, and allows for the entry into reciprocity agreements with other states or tolling entities to facilitate toll enforcement and collection. The bill aims to ensure due process and appeal protections for vehicle owners and to enable the sharing of registration information to aid in toll collection.
