Bill > SB0106

This bill establishes a new specialized vehicle license plate to support animal welfare in Michigan. Specifically, the Secretary of State, in collaboration with the Michigan Pet Alliance, will create a fund-raising license plate designed to address companion animal overpopulation and support homeless and abused animals in shelters and rescues. The bill creates a new "Protecting Michigan's Pets Fund" within the state treasury, which will receive donations from the sale of these specialized license plates. The State Treasurer will manage the fund, investing its assets and ensuring that any interest or earnings remain in the fund. On a quarterly basis, the State Treasurer will transfer the collected donations to the Michigan Pet Alliance, which will presumably use the funds for animal welfare programs such as spay and neuter clinics, shelter support, and other animal care initiatives. The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to add this new provision for a specialized license plate with a specific charitable purpose.
