Abstract
(SB0957 · 103rd Legislature) Transportation: funds; population threshold for certain grants; increase. Amends secs. 10e & 13c of 1951 PA 51 (MCL 247.660e & 247.663c). Sponsor: Sen. Roger Victory ® + 2 co-sponsors In committee: S Transportation And Infrastructure Latest action (2026-05-13): Referred To Committee On Transportation And Infrastructure
Why this matters
Population thresholds in PA 51 determine which local units of government qualify for specific transportation grant categories, so raising the threshold reshuffles which cities or counties receive dedicated funding streams. As a Senate companion to a House bill making the same changes, it signals bicameral interest in adjusting the eligibility line without altering the underlying funding pool.
