Highways: other; abandonment of certain roads; modify. Amends sec. 18 of 1909 PA 283 (MCL 224.18).

This bill amends Michigan's existing laws regarding the abandonment and discontinuance of county roads to clarify the procedures local road commissions must follow. It outlines how county road commissioners can voluntarily give up control of a road, returning it to the municipality, or completely abandon it, which would remove it from the public highway system entirely. The legislation also details the specific steps required to process these actions, including mandatory public hearings, official notice periods, and the conditions under which residents can petition for a road's removal. Additionally, the bill addresses how road names are assigned and changed, as well as the rules for counties to share responsibilities for roads that cross county lines.
