A SUMMARY OF SENATE BILL 630 AS PASSED BY THE SENATE 10-30-07

The bill would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate highway M-62 in Cass County from the eastern city limit of Dowagiac to the western city limit of Cassopolis as the "Veteran's Memorial Highway."

MCL 250.1093

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.
