This bill requires the state Department of Highways to give cities at least 60 days advance notice before a road resurfacing project in their area is put out for contract. Cities would have the opportunity to submit feedback on the project, and the department would be required to consider that input and respond. This gives local governments more say in how state road work is planned and carried out in their communities. Who it may affect: city governments and residents in areas where state highway resurfacing projects are planned.
