Plain-language change summary

The updated bill now requires the Department of Transportation to publish information about maintenance or repair work on the state highway system as soon as a contract is awarded, instead of waiting until bidding closes. It also mandates the publication of the engineer’s cost estimate and projected completion date for projects within one business day of the bidding decision. These changes enhance transparency by ensuring the public quickly receives important project information, which can help build trust in government operations and improve accountability.
