Vehicles: registration plates; personalized license plates for historical vehicles; provide for. Amends secs. 803a & 803b of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.803a & 257.803b).

This bill amends Michigan vehicle code sections to establish a specific registration program for historic vehicles and clarifies the rules for personalized license plates. Owners of historic vehicles can now apply for a special "historical vehicle - Michigan" plate, which requires a lower fee than personalized plates and allows the registration to be transferred to another historic vehicle. To qualify, owners must certify that the vehicle is used solely for historic purposes and provide proof that it has been inspected and is safe for highway operation. The bill also sets the expiration date for these historic vehicle registrations at ten years from the date of issuance. Additionally, the legislation updates the fee structure for personalized plates and clarifies how the associated service fees are allocated to state transportation funds.
