Vehicles: fund-raising registration plates; fund-raising registration plate for spay and neuter clinics; create. Amends 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.1 - 257.923) by adding sec. 811kk.
HB 4792 creates a special license plate for Michigan vehicles, with sales proceeds funding animal welfare. The plate design will support efforts to address pet overpopulation and provide humane care for homeless and abused animals in shelters and rescues. Money from plate sales will go into a dedicated "Protecting Michigan's Pets Fund" managed by the state treasurer, with quarterly disbursements to the Michigan Pet Alliance. This bill directly affects vehicle owners who purchase the plate, directing funds specifically toward spay/neuter programs and animal health care services.
