A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4843 AS INTRODUCED 6-30-11

The bill would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate a portion of highway M-61 from the eastern city limit of the city of Gladwin to the intersection of highway M-61 and highway M-30 in Gladwin County as the "Trooper Jeffrey Werda Memorial Highway."

MCL 250.2078

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.
