Hillsdale County, MI – State Senator Joe Bellino recently turned in legislation to honor Hillsdale County Deputy Sheriff William Butler Jr., who was killed in the line of duty in June.
Senate Bill 977 would designate a portion of Highway M-34 in Hillsdale County from Pioneer Road to South Pittsford Road as the ‘Deputy Sheriff William Butler Jr. Memorial Highway.’ If the bill is signed into law, it will have no fiscal impact on state or local government.
State law requires sufficient private contributions to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining markers indicating the name of a memorial highway.
