A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4878 AS INTRODUCED 6-5-01
House Bill 4878 would create a new act to be known as the Michigan Memorial Highway Act, in order to consolidate and codify in a single statute more than 50 highways and portions of highways that have been named in memory of individuals and groups having historical prominence in their communities. The bill would also require that the Transportation Department only provide for the erection of suitable signs at the approach of any of the highways, after sufficient private contributions had been received to pay the cost of erecting those markers. Finally, the bill would repeal 22 acts and 43 resolutions that previously named all or portions of highways.
