Highways: memorial; portion of M-5; designate as the "Joseph R. Blake Memorial Highway". Amends 2001 PA 142 (MCL 250.1001 - 250.2092) by adding sec. 122.

This bill designates a specific section of M-5, also known as Grand River Avenue in Wayne County between 8 Mile Road and Telegraph Road, as the "PV2 Joseph R. Blake Memorial Highway." It directly affects the Michigan State Highway Department by requiring them to update official records and signage to reflect this new name. The legislation amends the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to formally establish this memorial designation for the roadway. This change is primarily commemorative and does not alter traffic rules or funding allocations for the highway. The bill is sponsored by Representative Laurie Pohutsky and is currently under review by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
