MODERATE

The bill was revised from SD1 to SD2, primarily removing a requirement for larger counties to collaborate with the State Highway Safety and Modernization Council and updating the deadline for submitting proposals from December 31, 2025 to an unspecified date. The effective date of July 1, 2050 and repeal date of June 30, 2027 remain unchanged, though the SD2 version appears to have formatting and metadata cleanup issues.

Scope change

The bill's scope was slightly narrowed by removing the mandatory collaboration requirement for counties with populations of 250,000 or more with the State Highway Safety and Modernization Council. The core program requirements for establishing summer streets pilot programs remain the same.

REQUIREMENT

Removed the requirement that counties with populations of 250,000 or more must collaborate with the State Highway Safety and Modernization Council when developing proposals.
