Transfers authority over the Department of Transportation from the Highways and Transportation Commission to the Governor

SJR 2 would transfer control of the state Department of Transportation (DOT) from the Highways and Transportation Commission to the Governor. This change would remove the Commission's oversight role and place direct decision-making authority for the DOT under the Governor. The bill specifically transfers administrative authority, including policy direction and management of transportation programs. It does not alter the DOT's core responsibilities but shifts who holds final control over its operations. The bill is currently pending in the Senate General Laws Committee.
