Modifies laws regarding the composition of the " highways and transportation commission"
HB 2222 modifies the composition of the state's highways and transportation commission by requiring that no more than three of its six members (one from each congressional district) can belong to the same political party. It establishes a leadership rotation system where the two most senior commissioners from opposing parties serve as chair and vice chair, swapping roles annually. Starting January 1, 2027, the legislature must submit a list of six nominees (approved by a two-thirds vote in both chambers) for the governor to appoint two new members, with future vacancies requiring three nominees per vacancy under the same legislative approval process.
