The new renewal forms are already being mailed out.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said this is a positive step in the right direction for re-opening Michigan.
She said, "We are moving forward as a state. We are emerging out of the moment that we were in March, April, and May.”
Secretary Benson is also excited to have their employees return to work.
"We’ve had nearly 1,000 employees furloughed for the past couple of week,s recognizing the challenging budget situation we are in now and these employees will now be able to return back to work,' she said.
