A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6322 AS INTRODUCED 9-17-02

House Bill 6322 would amend Public Act 51 of 1951, the Michigan Transportation Fund Act, to prohibit the Department of Transportation from spraying for weed control (or from entering into a contract for the purpose of spraying for weed control) along any state trunk line highway within a county where the county board of commissioners had adopted a resolution that opposed spraying.

The bill also would replace the references to the "state highway commissioner" within this section of the act, and substitute instead, the "department."
