BREAST/CERVICAL CANCER LICENSE PLATE                                               S.B. 101 (S-2):

                                                                                                      FLOOR SUMMARY

Senate Bill 101 (Substitute S-2 as reported by the Committee of the Whole) (enacted version)

Sponsor:  Senator Glenn S. Anderson

Committee:  Transportation

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to do the following:

-- Require the Secretary of State (SOS), by June 1, 2014, to develop and issue a fund-raising plate recognizing the Michigan Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program, and design the plate in conjunction with the Program.

-- Require the SOS to transfer the fund-raising donations received from the sale of the plates to the State Treasurer.

-- Require the State Treasurer to credit the donations as provided in Section 811y (which would create the Breast and Cervical Cancer Awareness Fund, under House Bill 5138).

The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 5138, which is tie-barred to Senate Bill 101.

"Michigan breast and cervical cancer control program" would mean that term as defined in Section 2 of the Amanda's Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act.  (The Act defines the term as the comprehensive program implemented in 1991 by the Department of Community Health pursuant to a grant from the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide certain women with access to life-saving cancer screening services and follow-up care, including cancer treatment if necessary.)

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would create a start-up cost to the Department of State; however, the start-up fee of $15,000 prescribed in the Code would have to be paid to the Department from the proposed Breast and Cervical Cancer Awareness Fund.  The revenue generated from the fund-raising license plate would be deposited into the Fund, after which the State Treasurer would disburse payments from the Fund on a quarterly basis to the Breast and Cervical Cancer Awareness Control Program, as provided in House Bill 5138.

The legislation would have no fiscal impact on local government.
