PURPLE HEART TRAIL

House Bill 5622 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. John Reilly

Committee:  Transportation and Infrastructure

Complete to 5-17-18

SUMMARY:

House Bill 5622 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of highway M-15 within the village of Ortonville as the “Purple Heart Trail.”

Proposed MCL 250.1020a

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.
