The parties shall address whether a self-insured vehicle owner is subject to the priority provision in the former MCL 500.3114(4)(a) as "[t]he insurer of the owner or registrant of the vehicle occupied" if the self-insured entity’s vehicle involved in the accident was not subject to the security provisions of the no-fault act because it was registered in another state, did not need to be registered in this state, and was not operated in this state for more than 30 days during the applicable year. The time allowed for oral argument shall be 20 minutes for each side. MCR 7.314(B)(1).
