MI HB6433

Amends Michigan's governmental immunity law (1964 PA 170) to clarify definitions of "governmental agency," "governmental function," "highway," "sidewalk," and "state."

Adds "state" definition to include public universities and colleges of Michigan, whether established as constitutional corporations or otherwise.

Establishes that municipal corporations must maintain sidewalks adjacent to municipal, county, or state highways in reasonable repair and are liable for injuries from defects in those sidewalks.

Creates a rebuttable inference that a municipal corporation maintained a sidewalk in reasonable repair if a discontinuity defect is less than 2 inches.

Limits municipal corporation liability to cases where the corporation knew or should have known of a defect at least 30 days before injury occurred and the defect was a proximate cause of the injury.
