CONTENT

The bill would add Section 811hh to the Michigan Vehicle Code to do the following:

-- Require the Secretary of State to develop a fund-raising plate recognizing prostate cancer awareness.

-- Create the "Prostate Cancer Awareness Fund" within the State Treasury and require the money from the sale of the plates to be deposited into the Fund.

-- Require the State Treasurer to disburse money in the Fund on a quarterly basis to the Prostate Cancer Understanding Prevention Screenings (P.C.U.P.S.) Foundation.

Proposed MCL 257.811h                           Legislative Analyst:  Tyler P. VanHuyse

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would result in start-up costs for the Department of State; however, the start-up fee prescribed in the Code (currently estimated at $90,000) would have to be paid to the Department of State from the proposed Prostate Cancer Awareness Fund. The revenue generated from the fund-raising license plate would be deposited into the Fund, after which, the State Treasurer would disburse payments from the Fund on a quarterly basis to the P.C.U.P.S. Foundation.

The bill would have no fiscal impact on local government.
