Addressing the emergency replacement of failed infrastructure on state route number 165.

This bill declares an emergency due to the permanent closure of the Fairfax bridge on State Route 165 (April 22, 2025) and directs the state transportation department to restore access as quickly as possible. It grants the transportation secretary emergency authority to waive specific regulations - including liability rules, inspection fees, utility commission requirements, and tax deadlines - to expedite rebuilding the bridge. This applies to the replacement project on SR 165 and requires the secretary to provide practical notice to the governor, legislative leaders, and local governments. The bill directly affects state transportation agencies, local governments along SR 165, and contractors working on the bridge replacement. It does not address the unrelated climate funding provisions in Section 2 of the bill text.
