MI SB0125

Amends MCL 224.6 to allow counties with 12 or fewer surveyed townships to appoint county road commissioners rather than mandate elections.

Enables county boards of commissioners to transfer the powers, duties, and functions of appointed road commissioners to the county board itself through resolution, except in counties with populations of 1,000,000 or more.

Requires county boards proposing to alter the number of road commissioners to hold at least one public hearing with notice provided at least 28 days in advance to the road commission and posted on the county website if available.

Preserves funds provided under 1951 PA 51 (MCL 247.651-247.675) for their intended highway purposes regardless of which entity administers the road commission.

Allows counties with populations of 1,500,000 or more that have adopted a charter to reorganize road commission powers through charter amendment while maintaining statutory fund usage restrictions.
