1 1 Section 1. Section 307A.2, subsection 12, Code 1995, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 12. Prepare, adopt and cause to be published a long-range
1 4 program for the primary road system, in conjunction with the
1 5 state transportation plan adopted by the commission. Such
1 6 program shall be prepared for a period of at least five years
1 7 and shall be revised, brought up to date and republished at
1 8 least once every year in order to have a continuing five-year
1 9 program. The program shall include, insofar as such estimates
1 10 can be made, an estimate of the money expected to become
1 11 available during the period covered by the program and a
1 12 statement of the construction, maintenance, and other work
1 13 planned to be performed during such period. The commission
1 14 shall conduct periodic reinspections of the primary roads in
1 15 order to revise, from time to time, its estimates of future
1 16 needs to conform to the physical and service conditions of the
1 17 primary roads. The commission shall annually cause to be
1 18 published a sufficiency rating report showing the relative
1 19 conditions of the primary roads. Before the last day of
1 20 December of each year, the commission shall adopt and cause to
1 21 be published from its long-range program, a plan of
1 22 improvements to be accomplished during the next calendar year.
1 23 However, in years when the federal government is reauthorizing
1 24 federal highway funding, the commission shall not be required
1 25 to adopt and publish the annual plan of improvements to be
1 26 accomplished until at least ninety days from the enactment of
1 27 the new federal funding formula. This annual program shall
1 28 list definite projects in order of urgency and shall include a
1 29 reasonable year's work with the funds estimated to be
1 30 available. The annual program shall be final and followed by
1 31 the commission in the next year except that deviations may be
1 32 made in case of disaster or other unforeseen emergencies or
1 33 difficulties. The relative urgency of the proposed
1 34 improvements shall be determined by a consideration of the
1 35 physical condition, safety, and service characteristics of the
2 1 various primary roads.
2 2 EXPLANATION
2 3 Current law requires the state transportation commission to
2 4 adopt annually by December 31, a plan of highway improvements
2 5 to be accomplished during the next year. These improvements
2 6 are to be consistent with the five-year transportation plan.
2 7 The annual plan is required to list definite projects in order
2 8 of urgency and include a reasonable year's work with the funds
2 9 estimated to be available. This bill provides that the state
2 10 transportation commission has 90 days from the date of the
2 11 enactment of a new federal highway reauthorization formula to
2 12 publish the annual plan.
