MINOR
The bill was revised to streamline requirements by removing the specific mandate for large counties to collaborate with the State Highway Safety and Modernization Council. Additionally, the reporting deadline for pilot project reviews was extended to the 2027 legislative session, and the bill's version number was updated from SD1 to SD2.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing a specific collaboration requirement for counties with populations over 250,000, making the proposal submission process uniform for all counties.
