Traffic control: driver license; removal of failure to pay driver responsibility fees from centralized driving record; provide for. Amends secs. 204a, 304, 312f, 320e, 732a & 904 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.204a et seq.) & repeals secs. 732b & 732d of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.732b & 257.732d).
SB 706 modifies Michigan's vehicle code to remove unpaid driver responsibility fees from the centralized computerized driving records maintained by the secretary of state. This change affects drivers who have accumulated these fees, ensuring that such financial obligations no longer appear on their official driving history alongside traffic violations and accidents. The bill achieves this by amending specific sections of the state law that previously required these fees to be listed in the central file. Consequently, the removal of this information aims to provide a more accurate reflection of a driver's actual traffic behavior rather than their financial compliance with state fees.
