Create the Infrastructure Review Task Force for the state highway system

LB 558 creates an Infrastructure Review Task Force to examine Nebraska's highway system and transportation infrastructure. The task force will review current conditions, safety, economic impacts, and potential federal funding, then submit annual reports with recommendations to the Legislature by December 1 each year. This bill directly affects state transportation planning by involving key officials - including the Governor, legislative committee chairs, and the Department of Transportation - and requires them to analyze infrastructure needs and funding opportunities without compensation.
