AI Summary
This bill amends the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Act to make several key changes to how motor vehicle repair facilities operate in Michigan. The bill introduces the concept of an "auxiliary facility," which allows a registered motor vehicle repair facility to operate an additional facility within a 1-mile radius under the same registration. The auxiliary facility must serve as an extension of the primary facility, mirror its operations, and rely on the primary facility's established place of business for all customer interactions. The bill also updates registration requirements, increasing the threshold for ownership reporting from 10% to 25% and adding new documentation needs, such as zoning verification for the business location. Registration fees are restructured with new tiers based on gross annual revenue, and a new Mechanic Certification Examination Fund is created to support the development and administration of mechanic certification tests. Additionally, the bill makes various technical changes to language throughout the act, such as updating gendered pronouns and clarifying definitions. The changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2026, giving businesses time to adapt to the new requirements.
