What’s in it
AI summary The state transportation commission would be required to have members who live in specific areas. One person would be chosen to live in each of the six highway districts, and one person would be chosen to live in the state at large. If a member moves out of their assigned area, they must resign from the commission.1

For each of the six districts of the state as divided by the department of transportation (DOT) for purposes of the DOT’s highway division operations, this bill requires one member of the state transportation commission (STC) to be appointed to represent, and to reside in, the district. The bill also requires one member of the STC to be appointed to represent the state and to reside in the state. The bill provides that a member appointed to represent the state or a district who no longer resides in the state or the district, as applicable, shall be deemed to have resigned from the STC and the vacancy shall be filled as provided by current law. The bill takes effect upon enactment, applies to members of the STC appointed and confirmed on or after the effective date of the bill, and sets forth transition provisions.
