HB 4806 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children: child abuse or child neglect; reference to the state child abuse and neglect prevention board; update in the vehicle code. Amends sec. 811j of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.811j). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4807'25

HB 4806 proposes updating Michigan's vehicle code to require that "Children's Trust" license plates be designed with input from the State Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board. It directs all donations collected from these plates to the existing Children's Trust Fund, which supports children's programs under state law. The bill would affect vehicle owners who purchase these specialty plates and the fund's beneficiaries. The bill depends on companion legislation (HB 4807) passing first, as noted in its enacting section.
