Summary
House Bill 4089, to amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act and dedicate a portion of highway in honor of Specialist Levi K. Hoover, passed unanimously on third reading; the House ordered immediate effect.
House Bill 4089, a bill to amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to name a portion of highway in honor of Specialist Levi K. Hoover, passed the Michigan House by recorded roll-call vote.
Representative Andrew Schuette introduced the measure and described Specialist Hoover’s life and service, saying Hoover was a 2002 graduate of HH Dow High School and was killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom at age 23. Schuette asked colleagues to "request a yes vote" and to "join me in welcoming Danny" (the fallen soldier’s sister) to the House chamber.
The clerk announced the roll-call: "104 votes and 0 nay votes." A majority of members elected and serving voted in favor, and the bill passed. The majority floor leader moved and the House ordered immediate effect.
The measure is a ceremonial act under the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to honor a fallen service member; the transcript records sponsor remarks, the roll-call tally, and the immediate-effect motion. Implementation is ministerial (signage and designation per Department of Transportation procedures) and funding or technical details were not discussed on the floor.
