HB 4782 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Transportation: other; applicability of 1921 PA 246; modify as to certain ferry companies Amends sec. 1 of 1921 PA 246 (MCL 460.201).

This bill would exempt certain ferry companies operating under municipal agreements from Michigan's water transportation rate regulations. Specifically, it modifies a 1921 law to clarify that ferry companies with formal agreements with municipalities can set their own rates and fares without needing state approval from the Department of State Police. The change directly affects ferry operators in cities that have formal contracts with them, removing the requirement to file schedules of rates with the state. This is a procedural adjustment to the existing regulatory framework, not a new policy.
