                                                                                                    SUMMARY OF BILL

                                                                                     REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE

House Bill 4700 (as reported without amendment)

Sponsor:  Representative Timothy Beson

House Committee: Transportation

Senate Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the bridge on M-13 over Cheboyganing Creek in Bay County as the "Sergeant Kristopher J. Gould Memorial Bridge".

Proposed MCL 250.1090                                            Legislative Analyst:  Tyler VanHuyse

FISCAL IMPACT

The Act specifies that the Department of Transportation may provide for the erection and maintenance of markers designating the name of a highway only when sufficient private funds are available to cover the costs of erecting and maintaining those markers. As a result of these statutory restrictions on State or local spending for highway naming costs, the bill would have no fiscal impact on State or local government.
