Committee approves bill letting DOT designate road millings as surplus and transfer to counties
Summary
House Bill 1827 would allow the state department of transportation to deem road millings surplus property and transfer them to counties for road work subject to guidelines and county-use restrictions; the committee passed the bill with agreed language.
The committee voted to pass House Bill 1827, which authorizes the state Department of Transportation to classify road millings as surplus and transfer them to counties for use in local road construction.
Representative Howard Beatty said the bill permits counties to use transferred millings within their county and allows transfers to adjacent counties if a local need exists. The bill also gives the Department of Transportation the authority to withhold transfers if counties fail to follow state guidelines for use.
Committee members noted the bill contains agreed-upon language and moved to pass it; senators approved the measure on a voice vote.
