A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4980 AS INTRODUCED 6-21-01
The bill would create a new act to designate the portion of highway Interstate 69 beginning at the intersection of I-69 east and U.S. 27 north in Clinton county and extending east to exit 105 in Shiawassee county as the "Purple Heart Highway." In addition, the bill would require the state Department of Transportation to erect and maintain suitable markers indicating the name of the highway when enough private contributions had been received to completely pay the cost of erecting the markers.
