What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under this bill, if a Department of Transportation (DOT) highway project having a total cost of at least $5,000,000 and involving a state trunk highway having at least four lanes (project) includes the replacement of one or more left-side ramps with any right-side ramp, DOT must conduct a study and prepare a report relating to this planned replacement. The report must include a cost-benefit analysis of the replacement and an assessment of whether this replacement is cost-effective. DOT must submit this report to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF), for passive review, before DOT begins construction of the project. If the JCF cochairpersons do not notify DOT within 14 working days that JCF has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the report, DOT may proceed with the project as planned. If, within 14 working days, the JCF cochairpersons notify DOT that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the report, DOT may not include as part of the project the replacement of any left-side ramp with any right-side ramp unless the plan for this replacement is approved by JCF.
