SUMMARY OF DISCHARGED BILL
Senate Bill 578 (as discharged)
Sponsor: Senator Veronica Klinefelt
Committee: Appropriations (discharged)
CONTENT
The bill would require the Department of Transportation to create a cost estimate for the cost of local Federal bridge load analysis, inspection, or other local Federal bridge mandates. Additionally, if money remained in the Movable Bridge Fund, the Department could use those funds to cover any required local Federal bridge load analysis, inspection, or other local Federal bridge mandates if no other source of funding were available.
MCL 247.660a & 247.661g
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would be permissive in that it would not require the Department to fund the local Federal bridge load analysis, inspection, or other local Federal bridge mandate, unless no other sources of funds were available. There would be a net-zero impact, in that if the Department funded this analysis, there would be equal savings to the local government units that would not have to fund this analysis, but it would be a cost to the Department. An estimate of total cost of the analysis is not immediately available. The current balance in the Movable Bridge Fund is $19.8 million.
