renewal registration within the 45-day period, application for a

 

renewal registration may be made not more than 6 months before

     (6) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the

     (b) For a renewal of a registration, either of the following:

 

     (i) For a registration that is for at least 6 months but not

use or storage.

 

     (b) A vehicle purchased or leased in this state and delivered

 

to the purchaser or lessee by a dealer or by the owner of the

sale or lease of a vehicle to a purchaser or lessee who is

 

qualified and eligible to obtain a special registration, the dealer

 

shall apply for the special registration for the purchaser or

 

lessee. If a person other than a dealer sells or leases a vehicle

 

to a purchaser or lessee who is qualified and eligible to obtain a

 

special registration, the purchaser or lessee shall appear in

of attorney, at an office of the secretary of state and furnish a

 

certification that the person is the bona fide purchaser or lessee

 

or that the person has granted the power of attorney, together with

 

other forms required for the issuance of the special registration.

state will receive vehicle policy information, which shall not be

 

required more frequently than every 14 days. In determining the

 

format under this subsection, the secretary of state shall consult

 

with insurers. The transmission to the secretary of state of the

 

vehicle policy information is proof of insurance to the secretary

 

of state for motor vehicle registration purposes only and is not

insurer and an individual. Vehicle policy information submitted by

program, the following apply:

 

     (a) The secretary of state shall postpone considering the

restricted license issued under this section must be suspended

 

until the requisite period of license suspension, revocation,

 

denial, or cancellation, as appropriate, has elapsed.

the person's license under sections 303(1)(d), 320, or 904(10) or

 

(11), a licensing action under section 310d, or a suspension for a

 

first violation under section 625f. The court may affirm, modify,

 

or set aside the restriction, suspension, or denial, except the

 

court shall not order the secretary of state to issue a restricted

 

or unrestricted chauffeur's license that would permit the person to

 

drive a commercial motor vehicle that hauls a hazardous material.

 

The court shall enter the order and the petitioner shall file a

 

certified copy of the order with the secretary of state's office in

 

Lansing within 7 days after entry of the order.

 

     (4) Except as otherwise provided in this section, in reviewing

 

a determination resulting in a denial, suspension, restriction, or

 

revocation under this act, the court shall confine its

 

consideration to a review of the record prepared under section 322

 

or 625f or the driving record created under section 204a for a

 

statutory legal issue, and may determine that the petitioner is


eligible for full driving privileges or, if the petitioner is

 

subject to a revocation under section 303, may determine that the

 

petitioner is eligible for restricted driving privileges. The court

 

shall set aside the secretary of state's determination only if 1 or

 

more of the following apply:

 

     (a) In determining whether a petitioner is eligible for full

 

driving privileges, the petitioner's substantial rights have been

 

prejudiced because the determination is any of the following:

 

     (i) In violation of the Constitution of the United States, the

 

state constitution of 1963, or a statute.

 

     (ii) In excess of the secretary of state's statutory authority

 

or jurisdiction.

 

     (iii) Made upon unlawful procedure resulting in material

 

prejudice to the petitioner.

 

     (iv) Not supported by competent, material, and substantial

 

evidence on the whole record.

 

     (v) Arbitrary, capricious, or clearly an abuse or unwarranted

 

exercise of discretion.

 

     (vi) Affected by other substantial and material error of law.

 

     (b) In determining whether a petitioner is eligible for review

 

of a revocation or denial under section 303, or whether a

 

petitioner is eligible for restricted driving privileges, 1 or more

 

of the following apply:

 

     (i) The petitioner's substantial rights have been prejudiced

 

as described in subdivision (a).

 

     (ii) All of the following are satisfied:

 

     (A) The revocation or denial occurred at least 1 year after


the petitioner's license was revoked or denied, or, if the

 

petitioner's license was previously revoked or denied within the 7

 

years preceding the most recent revocation or denial, at least 5

 

years after the most recent revocation or denial, whichever is

 

later.

 

     (B) The court finds that the petitioner meets the department's

 

requirements under the rules promulgated by the department under

 

the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201

 

to 24.238. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph only, the court

 

may take additional testimony to supplement the record prepared

 

under section 322 or 625f or the driving record created under

 

section 204a, but shall not expand the record.

 

     (C) If the revocation or denial was under section 303(2)(a),

 

(b), (c), or (g), the petitioner rebuts by clear and convincing

 

evidence the presumption that he or she is a habitual offender, and

 

establishes to the court's satisfaction that he or she is likely to

 

adhere to any requirements imposed by the court. For purposes of

 

this sub-subparagraph, the conviction that resulted in the

 

revocation and any record of denial of reinstatement by the

 

department are prima facie evidence that the petitioner is a

 

habitual offender. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph only, the

 

court may take additional testimony to supplement the record

 

prepared under section 322 or 625f or the driving record created

 

under section 204a, but shall not expand the record.

 

     (5) If the court determines that a petitioner is eligible for

 

restricted driving privileges under subsection (4)(b), the court

 

shall issue an order that includes, but is not limited to, all of

257.1727 of the Michigan administrative code.

 

     (b) A requirement that each motor vehicle operated by the

 

petitioner be equipped with a properly installed and functioning

 

ignition interlock device for a period of at least 1 year. The

 

petitioner shall bear the cost of an ignition interlock device

 

required under this subdivision. A restricted license shall not be

 

issued to the petitioner until the secretary of state has verified

 

that 1 or more ignition interlock devices, if applicable, have been

 

installed as required by this subdivision.

 

     (c) A method by which the court will verify that the

 

petitioner maintains no-fault insurance for each vehicle described

 

in subdivision (b) as required by chapter 31 of the insurance code

 

of 1956, 1956 PA 218, MCL 500.3103 to 500.3179.

petitioner shall not permit the petitioner to operate a commercial

 

motor vehicle that hauls hazardous materials.

the petitioner's restricted license if any of the following occur:

 

     (i) The petitioner violates the restrictions on his or her

 

license.

 

     (ii) The petitioner violates subdivision (b).

 

     (iii) The petitioner removes, or causes to be removed, an

 

ignition interlock device required under subdivision (b), unless

 

the secretary of state has authorized the removal under section

 

322a.


     (iv) The petitioner commits an act that would be a major

 

violation if the petitioner's license had been issued under section

 

322(6) or consumes alcohol or a controlled substance without a

 

prescription. As used in this subparagraph, "major violation" means

 

that term as defined in R 257.301a of the Michigan administrative

 

code.

 

     (v) The petitioner is arrested for a violation of section 625

 

or a local ordinance, law of this state or another state, or law of

 

the United States that substantially corresponds to section 625.

 

     (6) If the court determines that a petitioner is eligible for

 

restricted driving privileges under this section and the petitioner

 

intends to operate a vehicle owned by his or her employer, the

 

court shall notify the employer of the petitioner's obligation

 

under subsection (5)(b). This subsection does not require an

 

employer who receives a notice under this subsection to install an

 

ignition interlock device on a vehicle. This subsection does not

 

apply to a vehicle that is operated by a self-employed individual

 

who uses the vehicle for both business and personal use.

 

     (7) If a court determines that a petitioner is eligible for

 

restricted driving privileges, the secretary of state shall not

 

issue a restricted license to the petitioner until he or she has

 

satisfied any other applicable requirements of state or federal

 

law, and shall not issue a restricted license to the petitioner if

 

the order granting eligibility for restricted driving privileges

 

does not comply with subsection (5).

the department of treasury shall inform the department of state

 

that the individual intends to complete community service under

 

this section as an alternative to paying a driver responsibility

 

fee or any portion of a driver responsibility fee. If the secretary

 

of state is notified by the department of treasury that the

 

individual has elected to complete community service under this

 

section as an alternative to paying the fee, that fee shall be held

 

in abeyance for a period of 45 days. If the individual's license is

 

suspended for failing to pay the driver responsibility fee or

 

portion of the driver responsibility fee, the department of state

 

shall, upon payment of the reinstatement fee, reinstate the

 

individual's driver license.

 

     (4) An individual who engages in community service under this

 

section shall be allowed only 1 opportunity to complete the

 

community service alternative for each driver responsibility fee

 

owed. However, the department of treasury may allow an individual

 

to withdraw from that community service before the expiration of

 

the 45-day period for completing that community service for good

 

cause shown. If the individual is allowed to withdraw from

 

community service for good cause shown, that opportunity for

 

completing community service shall not be considered in the number

 

of opportunities to perform community service under this

 

subsection, but the individual is subject to the suspension of his

 

or her driving privileges under section 732a(5).

 

     (5) Upon completing community service under this section, the

 

individual may request the person with whom he or she engaged in


community service under this section to verify on the community

 

service form in the manner designated by the secretary of state

 

that he or she successfully completed that community service. Upon

 

verification, the individual may return the community service form

 

to the department of treasury for purposes of this section. Any

 

person who falsely verifies community service under this subsection

 

and any individual who falsely requests the verification of

 

community service under this section or who returns a community

 

service form to the department of treasury under this subsection

 

knowing that his or her community service is falsely verified is

 

responsible for a state civil infraction and may be fined not more

 

than $200.00.

 

     (6) The department of treasury shall waive the driver

 

responsibility fee or any portion of the driver responsibility fee

 

otherwise required to be paid under section 732a(2)(c) or (d) upon

 

receiving verification that the individual successfully completed

 

the community service requirements of this section. The department

 

of treasury shall notify the department of state when it has waived

 

the fee under this section or, if the fee is not waived under this

 

section, that the 45-day period has expired and the fee has not

 

been waived. If the secretary of state is notified by the

 

department of treasury that the fee has not been waived, the

 

department of state shall enter that information into the records

 

of the department and shall suspend the individual's driver license

 

and proceed as provided by law for the individual's failure to pay

 

the driver responsibility fee or to complete community service

 

under this section.


     (7) As used in this section, "community service" means

 

engaging in a useful and productive activity without compensation

 

for a person other than a family member, including, but not limited

 

to, an entity organized under section 501(c)(3) of the internal

 

revenue code, 26 USC 501, and community service offered through the

 

Michigan community service commission.

 

     Sec. 801e. (1) When a moped required to be registered under

 

this act is sold by a retailer to a general purchaser, the

 

certificate of registration shall be obtained in the name of the

 

purchaser by the retailer. In other cases, the certificate of

 

registration shall be obtained by the purchaser. The application

 

shall be signed by the purchaser of the moped and shall be

 

accompanied by a fee of $15.00. Upon receipt of the application in

 

approved form, the secretary of state shall enter the application

 

upon the secretary of state's records and issue to the applicant a

 

certificate of registration containing the decal for the moped, the

 

name and address of the owner, and other information the secretary

 

of state considers necessary. A moped shall not be required to be

 

insured in the manner specified for motor vehicles under chapter 31

 

of Act No. 218 of the Public Acts of 1956, as amended, being

 

sections 500.3101 to 500.3179 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. The

 

certificate of registration shall be pocket size, shall accompany

 

the vehicle, shall be legible, and shall be made available for

 

inspection upon demand by a law enforcement officer.

 

     (2) A decal indicating that the certificate of registration is

 

in full force and effect shall be issued. A registration

the secretary of state.

 

     (3) A retailer or manufacturer of mopeds, upon application to

 

the secretary of state upon forms provided by the secretary of

 

state, may obtain certificates of registration for use in the

 

testing or demonstrating of a moped upon payment of $10.00 for each

 

of the first 2 registration certificates. Additional certificates

 

may be issued at a cost of $5.00 each and used by the applicant

 

only in the testing or demonstrating of mopeds by temporary

 

placement of the registration on the moped being tested or

 

demonstrated. A certificate issued pursuant to under this

 

subsection may be used on only 1 moped at any given time.

 

     (4) A moped registration shall be valid for a 3-year period

 

which that begins on May 1 and expires on April 30 of the third

infraction under this act or a local ordinance substantially

 

corresponding to a provision of this act, the judge or district

 

court magistrate may order the person to pay a civil fine of not

 

more than $100.00 and costs as provided in subsection (4). However,


if the civil infraction was a moving violation that resulted in an

 

at-fault collision with another vehicle, a person, or any other

 

object, the civil fine ordered under this section shall be

 

increased by $25.00 but the total civil fine shall not exceed

 

$100.00. However, for a violation of section 602b, the person shall

 

be ordered to pay costs as provided in subsection (4) and a civil

shall be are payable immediately.

 

     (3) Except as provided in this subsection, if a person is

 

determined to be responsible or responsible "with explanation" for

 

a civil infraction under this act or a local ordinance

 

substantially corresponding to a provision of this act while

 

driving a commercial motor vehicle, he or she shall be ordered to

 

pay costs as provided in subsection (4) and a civil fine of not

 

more than $250.00.

 

     (4) If a civil fine is ordered under subsection (2) or (3),

 

the judge or district court magistrate shall summarily tax and

 

determine the costs of the action, which are not limited to the

 

costs taxable in ordinary civil actions, and may include all

 

expenses, direct and indirect, to which the plaintiff has been put

 

in connection with the civil infraction, up to the entry of

 

judgment. Costs shall not be ordered in excess of $100.00. A civil

 

fine ordered under subsection (2) or (3) shall not be waived unless


costs ordered under this subsection are waived. Except as otherwise

 

provided by law, costs are payable to the general fund of the

 

plaintiff.

     (6) A district court magistrate shall impose the sanctions

 

permitted under subsections (2), (3), and (5) only to the extent

 

expressly authorized by the chief judge or only judge of the

 

district court district.

 

     (7) Each district of the district court and each municipal

 

court may establish a schedule of civil fines, costs, and

 

assessments to be imposed for civil infractions that occur within

 

the respective district or city. If a schedule is established, it

 

shall be prominently posted and readily available for public

 

inspection. A schedule need not include all violations that are

 

designated by law or ordinance as civil infractions. A schedule may

 

exclude cases on the basis of a defendant's prior record of civil

 

infractions or traffic offenses, or a combination of civil

 

infractions and traffic offenses.

 

     (8) The state court administrator shall annually publish and

 

distribute to each district and court a recommended range of civil

 

fines and costs for first-time civil infractions. This

 

recommendation is not binding upon the courts having jurisdiction

 

over civil infractions but is intended to act as a normative guide


for judges and district court magistrates and a basis for public

 

evaluation of disparities in the imposition of civil fines and

 

costs throughout the state.

 

     (9) If a person has received a civil infraction citation for

 

defective safety equipment on a vehicle under section 683, the

 

court shall waive a civil fine, costs, and assessments upon receipt

 

of certification by a law enforcement agency that repair of the

 

defective equipment was made before the appearance date on the

 

citation.

 

     (10) A default in the payment of a civil fine or costs ordered

 

under subsection (2), (3), or (4) or a justice system assessment

issued under this section within the time prescribed by the court,

 

the driver's license of that person shall be suspended under

 

section 321a until full compliance with that order or judgment

 

occurs. In addition to this suspension, the court may also proceed

 

under section 908.

 

     (12) The court may waive any civil fine, cost, or assessment

 

against a person who received a civil infraction citation for a

 

violation of section 710d if the person, before the appearance date

 

on the citation, supplies the court with evidence of acquisition,


purchase, or rental of a child seating system meeting the

 

requirements of section 710d.

 

     (13) In addition to any civil fines or costs ordered to be

 

paid under this section, the judge or district court magistrate

 

shall order the defendant to pay a justice system assessment of

 

$40.00 for each civil infraction determination, except for a

 

parking violation or a violation for which the total fine and costs

 

imposed are $10.00 or less. Upon payment of the assessment, the

 

clerk of the court shall transmit the assessment collected to the

 

state treasury to be deposited into the justice system fund created

 

in section 181 of the revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA 236,

 

MCL 600.181. An assessment levied under this subsection is not a

 

civil fine for purposes of section 909.

 

     (14) If a person has received a citation for a violation of

 

section 223, the court shall waive any civil fine, costs, and

 

assessment, upon receipt of certification by a law enforcement

 

agency that the person, before the appearance date on the citation,

 

produced a valid registration certificate that was valid on the

 

date the violation of section 223 occurred.

 

     (15) If a person has received a citation for a violation of

 

section 328(1) for failing to produce a certificate of insurance

 

under section 328(2), the court may waive the fee described in

 

section 328(3)(c) and shall waive any fine, costs, and any other

 

fee or assessment otherwise authorized under this act upon receipt

 

of verification by the court that the person, before the appearance

 

date on the citation, produced valid proof of insurance that was in

 

effect at the time the violation of section 328(1) occurred.


Insurance obtained subsequent to the time of the violation does not

 

make the person eligible for a waiver under this subsection.

 

     (15) (16) If a person is determined to be responsible or

 

responsible "with explanation" for a civil infraction under this

 

act or a local ordinance substantially corresponding to a provision

 

of this act and the civil infraction arises out of the ownership or

 

operation of a commercial quadricycle, he or she shall be ordered

 

to pay costs as provided in subsection (4) and a civil fine of not

 

more than $500.00.

 

     (16) (17) As used in this section, "moving violation" means an

 

act or omission prohibited under this act or a local ordinance

 

substantially corresponding to this act that involves the operation

 

of a motor vehicle and for which a fine may be assessed.
