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

Senate Bill 138 amends the Michigan vehicle code to allow the Secretary of State to issue temporary registration permits. This directly affects vehicle owners who apply for a new registration plate but whose current registration will expire before they receive the permanent plate. These temporary permits are issued without charge and are valid until the permanent plate arrives or for 60 days, whichever occurs first. The bill also updates language regarding general registration renewal applications, proof of title, and vehicle insurance requirements.
