HB 6123 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Highways: signs; requirements for signage; modify. Amends sec. 7b of 1972 PA 106 (MCL 252.307b).

This bill modifies Michigan's highway advertising laws to allow the Department of Transportation to issue permits for directional signs pointing to specific military facilities and nationally or regionally recognized attractions. These signs must adhere to strict design rules, such as limiting their size to 150 square feet and prohibiting descriptive words, photos, or images. The legislation also sets distance requirements to prevent signs from cluttering roadways near interchanges or other existing signs, while explicitly stating that the number of visitors to a military facility cannot be used to deny a permit. Ultimately, the law aims to regulate how travelers are directed to significant sites without allowing commercial-style advertising on state highways.
