What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the town board must provide the material and equipment

needed to construct and maintain the highways under the town's jurisdiction. Also

under current law, the total sum spent for these purposes in any year may not exceed

the product of $5,000 multiplied by the miles of highway under the town's

jurisdiction. This limit may be exceeded only if exceeding the limit is authorized by

the town meeting or by referendum at a town election.

Under this bill the limit on town expenditures for material and equipment for

construction and maintenance of highways is eliminated.
