Michigan No-Fault Law, section by section › MCL 500.3101c
Standard certified statement.
In plain terms
Directs the insurance commissioner (today the DIFS director) to prescribe the certified statement insurers use to show, for registration purposes under the Michigan Vehicle Code, that a vehicle is insured under a six-month prepaid, noncancelable policy.
How this section works in practice
A short administrative section. It directs the insurance commissioner (the role now sits with the director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services) to prescribe the certified statement that insurers use to show the Secretary of State that a vehicle is insured under a six-month prepaid, noncancelable policy. That statement matters under section 227a of the Michigan Vehicle Code, which ties certain registrations to proof of such a policy. For an injured person it has no direct effect on benefits; it is one of several sections that make the registration and insurance systems talk to each other.
