An Act to assure safety, efficiency and accountability in transportation projects through public inspections
This bill requires state and local government employees to perform all construction and safety inspections for transportation projects funded by state or federal money. It directly affects public infrastructure projects like roads and bridges by mandating that inspections - including bridge checks, quality control, and contract oversight - must be conducted by public employees, not private contractors. The key provision eliminates private contractors from these inspection roles for publicly funded projects. This aims to increase accountability and safety oversight in transportation work.
