TRANSPORTATION/DEV DEPT: Provides for the Department of Transportation and Development to accept duties of the federal government. (8/1/26) (EN SEE FISC NOTE SD EX)

Added official enrollment status (Act No. 244) and signatures from the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and Governor, confirming the bill has passed all legislative stages and is now law.

Explicitly authorized the department to adopt and promulgate new rules and regulations necessary to implement the federal agreements and carry out the assumed duties.

Corrected the formatting of the United States Code citation from '23 USC' to the standard '23 U.S.C.' to ensure proper legal referencing.

Removed the original legislative digest and metadata headers (such as 'ORIGINAL' and 'SB NO. 115') that were present in the draft version but are not part of the final legal text.

Clarified that the waiver of state sovereign immunity is strictly limited to lawsuits required by the specific federal statutes (23 U.S.C. 326 and 327) and does not create liability beyond federal law requirements.

Granted the department the authority to accept and spend money received from the federal government or its agencies specifically for transportation purposes related to these new duties.
