Bill > SF3824

This bill enacts various transportation-related policies, including establishing new standards for bridge and tunnel inspections, modifying funding for active transportation education, and updating mandated reporting expiration dates. Specifically, it expands the definition of a "bridge" to include structures carrying vehicular traffic on public highways or streets, and also includes railroad, all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile, or pedestrian bridges if they cross over a public highway or street. The bill introduces the "Bridge and Structure Inspection Program Manual" (BSIPM) and references the "National Tunnel Inspection Standards" (NTIS) for inspection procedures. It also establishes a new "Truck Parking Improvement Program" to enhance the availability, access, and safety of truck parking. Additionally, the bill removes existing scenic byway designations, such as the Glacial Ridge Trail and Hiawatha-Appleblossom Scenic Drive, and modifies the funding allocation for active transportation safety curriculum for youth. Finally, it adjusts the expiration dates for certain required reports to the legislature.
