The proposed changes are primarily administrative and are not expected to have a significant impact on state laws or regulations governing the Department of Transportation. By refining how the law is cited and referenced, SB1187 aims to enhance clarity and facilitate better understanding of the laws pertaining to transportation at the administrative level. This is crucial for maintaining organized legal frameworks within the state government.
Summary

This bill primarily makes a technical change pertaining to the short title of the specific article within the code that governs the Department of Transportation. It seeks to ensure that the legislative documentation and references remain consistent and up to date with the administrative structure of the state government.
Contention
Given the technical nature of the amendments proposed in SB1187, there has been minimal contention surrounding the bill. It appears to gain bipartisan support as it does not involve controversial provisions that typically arise in more substantive legislative discussions. However, it remains important for committee members and other stakeholders to review such bills to ensure that all legislative changes uphold the integrity of existing laws without introducing unnecessary complications.
