What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must develop,

implement, and administer a program to designate highways that have outstanding

scenic, historic, cultural, natural, recreational, or archaeological qualities as scenic

byways. DOT must promulgate rules, consistent with federal law, for its scenic

byways program.

This bill clarifies that DOT may designate local highways as scenic byways

under this program.
