This bill requires the Kentucky Department of Highways to give cities at least 60 days' advance notice before putting a road resurfacing project in their area out for contractor bids. Cities would have the opportunity to submit comments on the project, and the department would be required to consider that feedback and respond. This gives local governments more of a voice in state-managed road work happening within their boundaries. Who it may affect: city governments and local officials in communities where state highway resurfacing projects are planned.
