What’s in it
Under current law, the state transportation commission (STC) is charged with developing, coordinating, and annually updating a comprehensive transportation policy and plan for the state, among other duties. This bill requires that for each of the seven regions of the state, as designated by the bill, one member of the STC must be appointed to represent, and must reside in, each region. The bill divides the state into seven regions with each region consisting of certain adjoining counties. The bill provides that a member appointed to represent a region who no longer resides in the region shall be deemed to have resigned from the STC and the vacancy shall be filled as provided by current law.
