SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT SIGNS H.B. 4607 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4607 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Representative John Stakoe
House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy
Senate Committee: Transportation
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow a school superintendent, if appropriate, to request that a sign be erected in the school zone indicating that a school was in session year-round.
The sign would have to be posted on the same signpost as the school zone sign and immediately below the school zone sign. The sign would have to read "year-round school" and conform to the Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
MCL 257.627a Legislative Analyst: J.P. Finet
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill could result in increased costs to State and local road agencies associated with the provision allowing the posting of new "year-round" school signs. The fiscal impact on the State and local governments would depend upon the number of requests for "year-round" school signs. Data on the number of year-round schools were not available from the Michigan Department of Education.
