Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 2658 specifies that municipalities can use motor fuel tax funds for treating or removing ash trees infected with the emerald ash borer, but now the funding is limited to trees located in public right-of-ways or those posing a hazard to vehicles. The bill also eliminates the previous provision allowing funds to be used for treating trees infected with Dutch elm disease and for trees on private property. This change is important because it clearly focuses resources on public safety and management of a specific pest, rather than broader and less manageable treatments.
