“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
HB5691 would make it a civil infraction with a fine of $150 for the unauthorized and improper use of
‘special’ vehicle plates (aka dealer plates, manufacturer plates, etc.). With an abundance of concern, I voted

and/or illegal activity. And perhaps may even aid in criminal activity such as car theft.”
Rep. Cole moved that House Bill No. 5692 be placed on its immediate passage.

sections 82122 and 82123 (MCL 324.82122 and 324.82123), as added by 1995 PA 58.
Was read a third time and passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, by yeas and nays, as
