This resolution creates a House Study Committee on Street Lighting Along State Routes to comprehensively examine street lighting infrastructure and related challenges across the state. The committee will consist of five members appointed by the House Speaker, who will also designate a chairperson, and is charged with investigating street lighting conditions, needs, and problems along state routes. The study aims to address critical public safety concerns, including inadequate lighting, aging infrastructure, and the need for improved maintenance and reporting mechanisms. The committee will have the power to recommend actions or legislation, conduct meetings as needed, and receive standard legislative allowances. Members are expected to produce a report with potential legislative recommendations or meeting minutes by December 1, 2025, with any recommendations requiring approval by a majority vote of the committee. The broader context of this resolution is to improve roadway visibility, reduce traffic accidents, and enhance pedestrian security by systematically examining and proposing solutions to street lighting issues across the state's transportation network.
