PFC SHANE CANTU

VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY

House Bill 4168 (reported from committee as H-1)

Sponsor:  Rep. Ben Frederick

Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

Complete to 5-30-17                                                              (Enacted as Public Act 70 of 2018)

SUMMARY:

House Bill 4168 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of Highway M-71 between the eastern city limit of the city of Owosso and the western city limit of the city of Corunna as the "PFC Shane Cantu Veterans Memorial Highway."

Proposed MCL 250.1079a

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The highway designation honors a 2010 graduate of Corunna High School killed in 2012 while serving in the US Army in Afghanistan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Section 2 of the Michigan Memorial Highway Act indicates that the State Transportation Department shall only provide for the erection of suitable markers indicating the name of the highway "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.
