Bedford County - Subject to local approval, abolishes the Bedford County road board. - Repeals Chapter 30 of the Private Acts of 1975 and Chapter 39 of the Private Acts of 1989.
HB 1405 repeals two historical laws (Chapter 30 of the 1975 Private Acts and Chapter 39 of the 1989 Private Acts) that established Bedford County's road board. The bill requires Bedford County's legislative body to approve the repeal by a two-thirds vote before it takes effect. If approved, the road board would be abolished, shifting road governance responsibilities to the county. The bill became law after the Governor signed it on April 24, 2025, but the actual change depends on local approval.
