What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Transportation, in its specifications for

highway improvements, to encourage the proposal of alternate water quality

management plans from those provided in DOT's specifications. The bill also

provides that DOT may not reject a bid based on the bidder's proposed use of an

alternate water quality management plan if the proposed plan will result in water

quality performance at least as good as would be achieved under DOT's specifications

and at no greater cost than would be achieved under DOT's specifications.
