Highways: memorial; portion of M-553; designate as the "Jack Rantanen Memorial Highway". Amends 2001 PA 142 (MCL 250.1001 - 250.2092) by adding sec. 125.
This bill designates a specific section of M-553 in Marquette County as the "Jack Rantanen Memorial Highway" to honor an individual. The legislation directly affects the Michigan Department of Transportation and local residents by officially naming the road segment from Division Street in Marquette to County Road 480 in Sands Township. The key provision amends the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to add a new section establishing this permanent memorial designation. This change is primarily symbolic and does not alter traffic rules, funding, or road maintenance responsibilities.
