A state House panel has approved raising speed limits on some Michigan roadways. 

The bipartisan bills could increase speed limits up to 75 miles-per-hour on interstates.  They also include studies that would look at increasing speeds up to 80 miles-per-hour in the future.  The legislation also make changes to speed limits on state highways, gravel roads, and in school zones.  

It now goes to the full state House.
