Summary
The Michigan House unanimously passed HB 5989 to rename a portion of highway M40 in Alagan County as the Chief David Haverdink Memorial Highway, honoring the late chief's decades of public service.
The Michigan House on Thursday adopted House Bill 5989 to rename a stretch of highway M40 in Alagan County as the Chief David Haverdink Memorial Highway.
Representative Schmidt, who sponsored the bill, said Chief Haverdink had long service to the community — including 51 years with the Hamilton Fire Department and eight years as Alagan County sheriff — and urged colleagues to support the memorial naming. "His family and community mourn the loss of this much-loved and respected husband, father, grandfather, and leader," Schmidt said.
The bill passed with a recorded vote of 105 yeas and 0 nays. Majority leadership moved for immediate effect following passage.
Ending: The measure now awaits enrollment and any required administrative steps to update signage and maps.
