Description of Program and Relief
-
A state personal identification card that expired or is set to expire between February 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020
-
Operator’s license or chauffeur’s license that expired or is set to expire between February 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020
-
Vehicle registration or medical certificates for operator’s or chauffeur’s license holders with any commercial driver license group designation or endorsement so long as such person has an other-wise valid vehicle registration or medical certification, as applicable, that expired on or after March 1, 2020.
Driving with a vehicle registration, operator’s license, or chauffeur’s license that expired on or after February 1, 2020 does not constitute a violation of the Michigan Vehicle Code.
Additionally, automobile insurers are prohibited from taking any adverse or negative actions against an individual because the individual’s license or registration expired between February 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020, including (1) canceling, voiding, rescinding, or refusing to issue or renew a policy of automobile insurance, or denying a claim and (ii) increasing an automobile insurance premium amount charged for a new policy or the renewal of an existing policy.
