HF 230: Requiring the state transportation commission to prioritize the improvement of United States highway 30

Became HF 589 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

Current law delegates to the state transportation commission duties to develop, coordinate, and annually update a comprehensive transportation policy and plan for the state. The commission is required to prepare, adopt, and publish a long-range program for the primary road system. The program is required to be prepared for a period of at least five years and is required to be revised, brought up to date, and republished at least once every year in order to have a continuing five-year program. This bill requires the commission to prioritize the improvement of United States highway and to include in its long-range program plans to expand all portions of the highway consisting of two-lane roadways to four-lane divided roadways until the entire length of the highway is made up of four-lane divided roadways.

Cost

See the fiscal note

500 billion throughout the course of construction. 0% of the total cost, but this will depend on future budgeting decisions made by the State Transportation Commission. All State funding for construction will be provided by the PRF. 7 million per year.
