Provides for state liability for potholes on state highways

This bill modifies state liability laws regarding damage caused by potholes or defects on state highways. It generally establishes that the state is responsible for paying damages to individuals injured or whose property is damaged by these road defects, provided the state had notice of the problem. However, the legislation includes a specific exemption for roads maintained by the state during the months of May through November, unless the state has received notice of the defect. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the state is not liable for defects in bridges over which it has no control and defines its responsibility within incorporated villages based on the portion of the road it maintains.
