SB 106 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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.

SB 106 creates a special vehicle registration plate in Michigan that supports animal welfare. Vehicle owners who purchase this plate will contribute funds to a dedicated "Protecting Michigan's Pets Fund," managed by the state treasurer. The fund receives all plate sale proceeds and disburses money quarterly to the Michigan Pet Alliance to support spay/neuter programs and care for homeless/abused animals in shelters. This bill directly affects plate buyers and provides a new funding source for animal welfare organizations.
