Extends the time when the state is liable for damages suffered by any person from defects in state highways

Bill S 8017 extends the timeframe during which the state can be held responsible for damages suffered by individuals due to defects in state highways. Currently, the state is liable for such damages between May 1st and November 15th. This bill changes that period, making the state liable between April 1st and December 1st. This provides an expanded window for individuals to potentially seek compensation from the state for damages caused by highway defects.
