Bill Would Skim Money From MCCA to Fund Road Repairs

A bill introduced at the start of the legislative session seems to be gaining a bit of traction — or at least enough traction to attract the attention of the state’s top insurance regulator.

The measure, sponsored by State Representative Pete Lucido, would skim money from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association to jump start road projects in the state.

The head of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services recently fired back at Lucido’s plan, via press release, calling it unconstitutional.

However the bill hasn’t seen the light of day in months.

Lucido wouldn’t say if he’s worked it in to the recent road funding discussions in Lansing.
