A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5109 AS INTRODUCED 11-9-99
House Bill 5109 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow a township to appeal a traffic control order issued by the State Transportation Commission in the same manner as does a home rule city under current law.
Specifically, the bill would provide that upon application to the State Transportation Commission by a township affected by an order, opportunity would be given to the township for a hearing before the State Transportation Commission in the manner prescribed in the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969. The bill also specifies that traffic control orders, so long as they affect parking upon a state trunk line highway or county road within the corporate limits of a home rule city or within the limits of a township, would be considered "rules" within the meaning of the Administrative Procedures Act, and upon application for a hearing by a home rule city or a township, the proceedings before the commission would be considered a "contested case" within the meaning of the act.
