Senate Bill 1137 as passed by the Senate

Sponsor:  Sen. Ian Conyers

House Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

Senate Committee:  Transportation

Complete to 12-10-18

SUMMARY:

Senate Bill 1137 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of highway M-10 located in the city of Detroit between the intersection with Meyers Road and the intersection with West Outer Drive as the “Violet T. Lewis Memorial Highway.”

The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.

Proposed MCL 250.1036a

FISCAL IMPACT:

Section 2 of the Michigan Memorial Highway Act indicates that the state transportation department shall provide for the erection of suitable markers indicating the name of the highway only “when sufficient private contributions are received to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining those markers.” As a result, the bill has no state or local fiscal impact.
