TWO-YEAR VEHICLE REGISTRATION
House Bill 6103
Sponsor: Rep. Leon Drolet
Committee: Transportation
Complete to 8-30-02
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6103 AS INTRODUCED 5-12-02
House Bill 6103 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to specify that a vehicle registration issued by the secretary of state would expire on the owner's birthday two years after the date the registration was issued. Currently, a vehicle registration is issued annually, and expires on the owner's birthday. In addition, the bill would increase (but not double) the cost of registration plates, since the period of licensure for most noncommercial vehicles would be lengthened from one year to two years.
For a motor vehicle, including a motor home, except as otherwise provided, and a pickup truck or van that weighs not more than 5,000 pounds, the fee increases would be as follows:
