Bill > S07254

This bill requires cities with a population of one million or more to complete paving or resurfacing of milled roads within 72 hours of the milling process. (Milling is a road maintenance technique where the top layer of a road surface is ground down and removed to prepare for repaving.) The bill amends the existing highway law by adding a new section that mandates this quick turnaround time for road repairs, which is likely aimed at reducing disruption to traffic and improving road conditions in large urban areas like New York City. The legislation would take effect on the first day of January following its passage, and state agencies are authorized to develop necessary regulations in preparation for the law's implementation. By setting a strict 72-hour timeframe for completing road resurfacing after milling, the bill seeks to minimize the duration that roads remain in a rough, unfinished state, which can cause inconvenience and potential vehicle damage.
