Dear Chairs Stamas, Albert, VanSingel, Schmidt, Meerman and Bumstead:

The boilerplate for the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) current budget requires the submittal of a report that summarizes policy changes made in response to legislation which took effect in the preceding calendar year. This requirement is found in PA 166 of 2020 Section 220. The department shall report no later than April 1 on each specific policy change made to implement a public act affecting the department that took effect during the prior calendar year to the senate and house appropriations committees, the senate and house subcommittees on transportation, the joint committee on administrative rules, and the senate and house fiscal agencies.

MDOT has reviewed all the bills that were enacted in the 100th legislature, and could not find any that affected the department, which would have required the department to make a policy or operational change.
