Senate Bill 536 (as introduced 9-24-19)

Sponsor:  Senator Adam Hollier

Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of Highway I-94 in Wayne County, also known as "Edsel Ford Freeway", beginning at the intersection with M-53 and extending east to the intersection with Huntington Avenue as the "Firefighter Coleman A.

Proposed MCL 250.2070a                                          Legislative Analyst:  Tyler VanHuyse

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would have no fiscal impact on State or local government. 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 such, private funds would cover the cost of the renaming, and no State funds would be used.
