A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5601 AS INTRODUCED 4-13-00
House Bill 5601 would repeal Public Act 57 of 1962, which authorized construction of a bridge over the public navigable waters of Missaukee Lake in Missaukee County, in order to connect Redman Island and the mainland. The act specifies that before such a bridge was constructed, the county road commission was required to file with the Department of Conservation evidence that it accepted the bridge and connecting roads as a part of the public road system; and to submit plans and specifications relative to the bridge. Under the law the department could make changes in the plans, in order to protect the public interest in the navigable waters.
