Vehicles: registration; vehicle registration of deceased vehicle owner; allow next of kin to renew under certain circumstances, and modify procedures regarding deceased lessees. Amends sec. 236 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.236).

HB 4674 allows a deceased vehicle owner's next of kin to renew the vehicle's registration under specific conditions, such as within one year of the owner's death and if the registration was not expired for six months or more. It also modifies procedures for transferring titles to heirs or surviving spouses, setting a $100,000 value limit for vehicles (for 2024-2025) requiring only basic proof of death and heirship, rather than full estate paperwork. This directly affects families managing a deceased relative's vehicle, streamlining renewal and title processes without court involvement for lower-value vehicles. The bill adjusts the value threshold annually based on inflation starting in 2026.
