What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, as created in the 2011 Biennial Budget Act (Act 32), a county

is generally prohibited from using its own workforce to perform a highway

improvement project on a highway under the jurisdiction of another county or a

municipality that is located in a different county. A city with a population of 5,000

or more is prohibited from having a highway improvement project performed by a

county workforce unless the project is under, and meets the requirements of, the local

roads improvement program. Also under current law, as created in Act 32, a city,

village, town, or county may not use its own workforce to perform a construction

project for which a private person is financially responsible. This bill eliminates

these prohibitions.
