Vehicles: registration plates; temporary registration permits for specialty plates; provide for. Amends sec. 227 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.227).

This bill updates Michigan's vehicle code to allow the Secretary of State to accept digital transmissions of vehicle insurance policy information as proof of insurance for registration purposes. It mandates that insurers send this data to the state at least every 14 days and establishes strict confidentiality rules, ensuring the information is not subject to public disclosure requests. Additionally, the legislation authorizes the issuance of free temporary registration permits for up to 60 days to drivers who have applied for specialty plates but have not yet received their permanent plates. These changes directly affect vehicle owners, insurance companies, and the state's Department of State by streamlining the registration process and protecting sensitive insurance data.
