Introduced Text

Michigan HB6044 prohibits using failure to remove obstructions as evidence of highway abandonment.

Michigan HB6044 amends the state's highway law to ensure that the failure of a county road commission to order the removal of obstructions within a public highway does not serve as evidence of intent to abandon the highway. This provision aims to clarify that non-action by the commission does not imply abandonment of public highways.
