A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4969 AS INTRODUCED 10-7-99
House Bill 4969 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow the secretary of state, upon request, to issue a vehicle registration for more than one registration period, and in that instance, the registration tax would be prorated according to the taxes and expiration dates provided for under the act. The bill also states that if a registration is purchased in this manner, an annual tax increase provided for under the act could not be assessed during the remainder of the period that the registration was purchased. Further, House Bill 4969 also specifies that the expiration date for a multi year registration that is issued for a leased vehicle would be the date the lease expires, but it could not be for a period longer than 24 months. If the bill were enacted, it would take effect on April 1, 2001.
