Rep. Law

"Holocaust Memorial
Highway."
The bill was originally written by
Rep. David Law, R-Commerce
Township, who presented it to the
House on May 4, the day of the
Holocaust commemoration ceremony
in the Capitol rotunda.
It was then unanimously approved
by the Senate on May 25, and sent to
the governor.
"We have a lot of residents of our
state and friends in our community
who survived the Holocaust, while
losing numerous family members,"
Law said. "If the ceremonial road
signs make people stop and think,
the legislation will have accomplished
our goal."
