There is a different section (I think) that applies to Amateur Call plates in MI. as part of the application you agree to assist in the event of a communications emergency.. And your registration info (Name/address/call) are sent to both the county sheriff and the director of the Michigan State Police so they can call upon you in the aforementioned event.
Of course, in all the years I have been licensed (Rapidly approaching 50) Only once have I ever responded to a communications emergency, and that was optional and in a county other than the one I lived in (Which at that time should not have happened.. or rather I could not be required... It is a 3-county issue,, The county it was in refused (Emergency Manager said "NO" so they applied to the county next door, Since I lived one mile out of that county on the incoming storm path I registered with RACES there, they called me)
