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.
