AI Summary

This bill, titled "Enhancing local road construction," proposes to amend Section 3 of Chapter 6C of the General Laws by adding a new subsection (49). This new provision states that the Department of Transportation (the "department") cannot mandate that a city or town build or rebuild a public road (which refers to any public way, like a street or highway) with a design speed higher than the speed limit that the city or town plans to set for that road once construction is finished. The purpose of this change is to promote efficiency and save costs in local road projects.
