In plain language

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to cover additional costs for changed project designs after funding agreements.

SB 947 mandates that when the Department of Transportation makes design changes to state highway projects after agreements with local entities, it must bear any resulting extra costs. This applies to all relevant agreements effective from January 1, 2025.

Summary

Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of the state highway system and associated property. Existing law authorizes the department to enter into cooperative agreements with cities, counties, and other public entities with respect to the acquisition, construction, improvement, and maintenance of state highways, including agreements for the contribution of funds from any of those entities for state highway projects located within their jurisdiction and for the apportionment of expenses associated with the project. This bill would require the department, in an agreement with a city, county, or other public entity for the contribution of funds for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of any portion of state highway, to include a provision that makes the department responsible for any additional costs associated with a new project design adopted by the department after the project is included in the state transportation improvement program or the state highway operation and protection program, as specified. The bill would also make this provision applicable to agreements in effect as of January 1, 2025.
