Bill > HB4673

This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to modify the state park and recreation passport fee system, primarily adjusting language and clarifying provisions related to the optional fee paid during vehicle registration. The bill maintains the current fee structure of $10 for most vehicles (with $5 for motorcycles and $20 for two-year registrations), which allows vehicle owners to gain unlimited entry to Michigan state parks, recreation areas, and state-operated boating access sites. The bill makes several technical changes, such as updating language to be more gender-neutral (e.g., changing "he or she" to "the individual"), and adds a provision allowing the state treasurer to adjust passport fees annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill also specifies that the information about whether someone paid the recreation passport fee is considered personal information. Importantly, the bill's implementation is contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 4672), creating a legislative tie bar that means this bill will only take effect if the companion bill is also enacted into law.
