MI SB0914

Beginning September 30, 2014, county road agencies must annually certify compliance with four conditions: compliance with the publicly funded health insurance contribution act (2011 PA 152), enrollment of new employees in defined contribution plans, adoption of a road safety plan, and compliance with asset management requirements.

Road safety plans must include tabulating traffic accident locations and causation to prioritize investments, reviewing traffic control device warrants every 7 years, adjusting signal timing every 5 years, conducting safety audits for projects over $1,000,000 and high-accident locations, and employing a licensed traffic engineer.

County road agencies that fail to make required certifications will have all distributions from the Michigan Transportation Fund and Commercial Corridor Fund withheld until compliance is achieved.

Each county road agency must develop and implement a public-facing dashboard displaying compliance with certification conditions, compiled accident and safety data, and any withheld fund distributions.

Defines "county road agency" as a county road commission or equivalent body in charter counties, and "defined contribution plan" and "department" per referenced state laws.
