                                                                                     REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 442 (as reported without amendment)

Sponsor:  Senator Adam Hollier

Committee:  Appropriations

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Limousine, Taxicab, and Transportation Network Company Act to extend the sunset on the application and per-vehicle fees paid by a limousine carrier, taxicab carrier, or transportation network company. These fees are due to sunset on March 21, 2020; after that date, the fees would be eliminated. The bill would delay this sunset and maintain the current fee structure until March 21, 2023.

MCL 257.2104

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would have a positive fiscal impact on the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and no fiscal impact on local units of government. The extension of the current fees would preserve about $300,000 in annual fee revenue. Fee revenue is deposited into the Licensing and Regulation Fund and is used by the Department to enforce and administer the Act.
