HB 5641 Summary

  • Amends the Michigan Transportation Fund law to require the state transportation department to expend all state and federal revenue on road preservation until an asset management council determines all state highways, roads, streets, and bridges are in at least fair condition.

  • Modifies county road commission fund allocation requirements to similarly prioritize preservation spending and expend 100% of federal revenue on preservation once asset management council determines roads are in fair condition.

  • Updates city and village fund distribution requirements to align with the preservation-focused spending mandate and establishes similar standards for local road systems.

  • Changes various statutory references from "pursuant to" to "under" and makes grammatical corrections throughout sections 11, 12, and 13 of the transportation code.

  • Maintains existing debt service payment priorities and allows exceptions only for constitutional obligations and federal compliance requirements while in effect through the asset management council determination.
