Bill > LB1126

This bill establishes the "Infrastructure Development Investment Program Act" to finance qualified transportation infrastructure projects through loans and other financial assistance to eligible entities, aiming to improve public transportation, enhance safety, and boost the state's economy. The act also modifies existing laws related to transportation infrastructure construction by expanding exemptions for prequalification requirements for certain types of road and bridge work, and it updates provisions within the Transportation Innovation Act concerning public-private partnerships, including allowing for unsolicited proposals for projects other than simple highway repairs and establishing procedures for their evaluation and potential competition. Furthermore, the bill adjusts financial responsibility requirements following traffic accidents by increasing the minimum dollar amount of property damage that triggers reporting and license suspension, modifies traffic accident reporting requirements to include date of birth information, and updates rules for traffic control signals to explicitly include bicycle traffic. Finally, it revises permit fees for oversized or overweight vehicles, including a new fee structure for "superloads" (very large and heavy vehicles), and increases fees for certain special moving permits.
