What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a county is generally prohibited from using its own

workforce to perform a highway improvement project on a highway under the

jurisdiction of another county or a municipality that is located in a different county.

A city with a population of 5,000 or more is prohibited from having a highway

improvement project performed by a county workforce unless the project is under,

and meets the requirements of, the local roads improvement program. Also under

current law, a city, village, town, or county may not use its own workforce to perform

a construction project for which a private person is financially responsible. This bill

eliminates these prohibitions.
