MINOR

This bill was updated to add a specific one-year timeline for the pilot program and requires the Department of Transportation to submit a report to the legislature by February 2027. The funding source was changed from general state revenues to the state highway fund, and the effective date of the law was set to July 1, 3000, likely as a placeholder or error.

Scope change

The bill now explicitly limits the pilot program to one year and adds a mandatory reporting requirement to the legislature.

TIMELINE

Added a requirement for a one-year pilot program duration and a report deadline of twenty days before the 2027 regular session.

Set the effective date of the Act to July 1, 3000.

FISCAL

Changed the funding source from general state revenues to the state highway fund.
