MI HB6030

Amends the 1915 Public Act 59 regarding highway construction, improvement, and maintenance to modify public notice requirements for road improvement proceedings.

Until January 1, 2015, notice of hearings on special assessment rolls must be published in newspapers at least 2 times and posted in 5 conspicuous public places in each affected township at least 10 days before the hearing.

Beginning January 1, 2015, all notices of hearings shall use tier B public notice as provided in the local government public notice act, replacing newspaper and posting requirements.

Clarifies procedures when county road commissioners are disqualified from acting on highway improvement applications, allowing remaining commissioners to proceed or the probate judge to appoint a special road commissioner with full powers and duties.

Requires special road commissioners to be covered by a blanket bond or individual bond approved by the probate judge, with compensation and expenses paid from the special assessment district funds as determined by the county board of commissioners or board of county auditors.
