Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law authorizes local authorities, for those highways under their jurisdiction, to adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution, on various matters, including regulating traffic by means of specified official traffic control devices and prohibiting the use of particular highways by certain vehicles. Existing law authorizes specified proposed ordinances or resolutions to be effective as to any state highway or part thereof if the proposed ordinance or resolution is submitted to the Department of Transportation for approval prior to the enactment, as specified.

This bill would require the Department of Transportation, when reviewing and approving or rejecting an ordinance or resolution that has been submitted to the department for approval by a local authority, to consider the costs of the proposed ordinance or resolution compared to any possible alternative solution to the issue that the proposed ordinance or resolution is addressing and to provide written reasons and justifications for a rejection.
