OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM

MEMORIAL HIGHWAY

House Bill 4841 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. Jim Tedder

Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

Complete to 2-5-18

SUMMARY:

House Bill 4841 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of Williams Lake Road in Waterford Township as the “Operation Iraqi Freedom Memorial Highway.”

Under the bill, the marker erected at the approach of the portion of Williams Lake Road described above would have to bear the names of Private Damian S. Bushart, Private Bryon Fouty, and Specialist Andrew Waits.

MCL 250.1018a

FISCAL IMPACT:

Section 2 of the Michigan Memorial Highway Act indicates that the State Transportation Department shall only provide for the erection of suitable markers indicating the name of the highway “when sufficient private contributions are received to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining those markers.” As a result, the bill has no state or local fiscal impact.
