Require road bonds for developers

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 29, 2003

Introduced by Sen. Patricia Birkholz (R-24)

To require developers to post performance bonds to ensure that they perform all road improvements included in a subdivision proposal. Current law authorizes county road commissions to require a performance bond, but it is not mandated that they do so.

Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs

Amendment offered

To define "county road commission" in the bill. Wayne County does not have a county road commission, so under this bill the county executive would have the responsibility to require the bond.
