Board members discussed two state bills that could affect the Mackinac Bridge Authority on Nov. 7: a Senate bill and a House "clone" bill. The board packet included legislative history showing Senator Bibbets introduced the Senate measure earlier in 2025 and Representative Preston introduced an identical House bill, House Bill 4470.
At the meeting a board member said House Bill 4470 had been heard and voted out of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in recent days; the member encouraged colleagues to watch the committee proceeding on House TV. Members said they would continue to track both bills to see which moves forward.
No formal board action was taken on the bills during the meeting; members discussed next steps for follow‑up in a private setting with staff and legislators.
