HB 4003 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Highways: memorial; portion of US-131; designate as the "Sgt. Matthew Webber Memorial Highway". Amends 2001 PA 142 (MCL 250.1001 - 250.2092) by adding sec. 1073b.

This bill designates a specific section of US-131 in Mecosta County as the "Sgt. Matthew Webber Memorial Highway" to honor a fallen service member. The legislation amends Michigan's highway naming laws by adding a new section that officially names the stretch of road between 11 Mile Road and Old State Road. This change affects only the official signage and legal designation of that roadway segment, with no changes to traffic rules or road maintenance responsibilities. The memorial name serves as a permanent tribute to Sgt. Webber within the state's transportation infrastructure.

What changed between versions

As Passed by the Senate House Concurred Bill · 1 edit
MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a Senate-passed version to a House-concurred version, with changes primarily involving capitalization, spacing, and layout adjustments rather than substantive policy modifications. The core legislative intent remains unchanged: designating a specific segment of US-131 in Mecosta County as the Sgt. Matthew Webber Memorial Highway.
TECHNICAL

Capitalization and formatting were standardized, such as changing 'THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT' to 'the people of the state of michigan enact' and adjusting line breaks for final publication.
