What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
