Transportation

HB 4230 creates a new "neighborhood road fund" in Michigan's state treasury, funded by $100 million annually from income tax revenues (specifically from Section 695 of the 1967 Income Tax Act). This fund directly affects county road commissions, city and village road agencies, and the local bridge advisory board. Key provisions require $100 million yearly to be reserved exclusively for repairing closed, restricted, and critical bridges (managed by the advisory board), while the remaining funds are distributed to road agencies based on their road mileage - $100,000 per county commission plus a mileage-based share for all counties, and similarly for cities/villages. The bill specifies these funds must cover road preservation, maintenance, and preventative work without requiring local matching funds.
