Bill > LB558

This bill establishes the Infrastructure Review Task Force for Nebraska's state highway system, which will have a comprehensive mandate to analyze the state's transportation infrastructure. The task force will be composed of key state officials including the Governor, legislative committee chairs, the Speaker of the Legislature, the Director-State Engineer, and the Tax Commissioner, with three additional legislative members appointed by the Executive Board. The task force will review and analyze Nebraska's transportation infrastructure network, examine historical and future infrastructure development needs, assess highway safety concerns, evaluate economic impacts, and research potential federal funding opportunities. The chairperson will be the chairperson of the Revenue Committee, and the task force will receive staff support from that committee's staff. Members will serve without compensation, and they are required to submit an annual report by December 1st detailing their work, findings, and recommendations, along with draft legislation. Notably, members who are not legislators will serve as non-voting, ex officio members of the task force.
