TRAFFIC ENF./TRANS. ADMIN. FUND H.B. 4806 (H-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4806 (Substitute H-1 as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative John Stakoe
House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy
Senate Committee: Judiciary
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow a city, township, or village to contract with a person who owned or was in charge of a private road that was open to the general public, at that person's request or with his or her consent, to enforce provisions of the Vehicle Code on the private road. The owner or person in charge would be responsible for the cost and the posting of signs. These provisions could not be construed to affect a contract entered into between a city, township, or village and the person who owned or was in charge of a private road open to the general public before the bill's effective date.
The Vehicle Code authorizes the Department of State, upon appropriation, to spend money credited to the Transportation Administration Collection Fund from the revenue collected under Sections 801 to 810 of the Code, only to pay the necessary collection expenses incurred by the Department in administering and enforcing those sections. (Sections 801 to 810 deal with the issuance of vehicle registrations, titles, plates, and disability tabs and driver licenses.)
Under the bill, the Department of State also would have to spend money, as appropriated from the Fund, that was credited to it on or after October 1, 2005, under each of the following sections of law, to pay either the necessary collection of expenses incurred by the Department in administering and enforcing Sections 801 to 810 or other necessary expenses:
-- Sections 208b and 232 of the Vehicle Code.
-- Section 7 of Public Act 222 of 1972, which provides for an official State personal identification card.
-- Sections 80130, 80315, 81114, and 82156 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.
(Those sections allow the Secretary of State (SOS) to provide a commercial look-up service of records the SOS maintains, and require the SOS to charge a fee specified annually by the Legislature or, if the Legislature does not specify a fee, a market-based price established by the SOS.)
