The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code by adding a new section, 811kk, which mandates the development and issuance of a fund-raising license plate dedicated to prostate cancer awareness. The Secretary of State is tasked with designing these plates in collaboration with the P.C.U.P.S. Foundation.
Additionally, the bill establishes a prostate cancer awareness fund within the state treasury, allowing the state treasurer to receive and manage donations from the sale of these specialty plates. The fund will retain its balance at the end of the fiscal year and will not lapse into the general fund. The state treasurer is responsible for disbursing funds to the P.C.U.P.S. Foundation on a quarterly basis, ensuring that the proceeds support prostate cancer awareness initiatives. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted into law.
