MI HB5665

Modifies permitted uses of salvage vehicle inspection fees collected by local police agencies to include "equipment necessary to protect public health or safety" instead of limiting funds solely to stolen vehicle recovery and salvage vehicle inspection purposes.

Changes multiple instances of mandatory language ("shall") to permissive language ("must") throughout the salvage vehicle code section for consistency.

Clarifies that repair records must identify "who performed the repairs" rather than "by whom" repairs were performed, improving grammatical clarity in documentation requirements.

Changes reference from "who has removed" to "that has removed" when describing licensed automotive recyclers and dealers that remove scrap vehicles from Michigan for rebuilding or resale purposes.

Allows inspection fees collected by local authorities to be used more broadly for law enforcement equipment and public health/safety protection, with fees from state employees deposited with the Department of State for salvage vehicle inspection program administration.
