HOUSE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION

BACKGROUND:

The County Road Administration Board (CRAB) provides grants to counties for improvements to rural arterials, administers the distribution of state revenue for county roads, sets standards of good practice for the administration of county roads, and provides technical assistance to county road departments.

SUMMARY:

The descriptions of standards of good practice and the County Road Administration Board responsibilities are changed to more accurately reflect the services provided by CRAB, and to acknowledge "the safe and efficient movement of people and goods over county roads" as part of its mission.

The due date for the CRAB annual report is changed from July 1 to January 15.  The board may elect a chair to serve for one year at any time during the year rather than being required to do so during the first week of July.
