Michigan is not a member of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) but does share information with other state's regarding traffic violations of their licensed drivers. The Michigan Department of the State Driver's Services notes that most states are reciprocal and provide ticket information to the driver's home state.

If arrested for drunk driving in Michigan, you are required to take a chemical test to determine your bodily alcohol content (BAC). If you refuse to take a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) you will be charged with a civil infraction and fined up to $150, plus court costs.

Under Michigan's Implied Consent Law, all drivers are considered to have given their consent to this test. If you refuse a test, normally six points are added to a Michigan driver's record and your license will be suspended for one year, the suspension is automatic for any refusal to submit to the BAC test. This is a separate consequence from any subsequent convictions resulting from the traffic stop. If you refuse to take the test under the Implied Consent Law or if the test shows your BAC is 0.08 or more, your driver license will be destroyed by the officer, and you will be issued a 625g paper permit to drive until your case is resolved in court.

Whatever happens with your refusal ticket will most likely be reported to Ohio. If one of your penalties is a one year license suspension in Michigan then the OH BMV is more than likely to be notified and will take actions upon your Ohio driver's license. Ohio Revised Code (ORC) section 4510.17 notes that your Ohio license may be suspended upon conviction of a drug offense under federal law or in another state or for OVI (Operating a Vehicle under the Influence) offense in another state.

It is unlikely that Michigan would report this BAC refusal ticket or any convictions resulting from this incident since you are not currently licensed there. But if your license is suspended in another state and you tried to apply for an Indiana license the IN BMV would likely find out about the status of your license. Every state’s DMV has access to the National Drivers Registry (NDR) which lists those drivers whose driving privileges are suspended, revoked or otherwise have been taken away.
