HB4674

Vehicles: registration; vehicle registration of deceased vehicle owner; allow next of kin to renew under certain circumstances, and modify procedures regarding deceased lessees. Amends sec. 236 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.236).

Chamber Passed·9/4/25

Allows next of kin to renew vehicle registration if the owner dies, with certain limits.

This bill modifies Michigan's vehicle registration laws to allow the next of kin to renew the registration of a deceased vehicle owner under specific conditions. The renewal is limited to one time, cannot occur if the registration was expired for six months or longer at the time of death, and must happen within one year of the owner's death or before the vehicle is transferred to another party. The bill also adjusts the dollar amount limit for vehicle value, which affects the issuance of a certificate of title by the secretary of state.
