HB 550 Good Policy |
Intermediate driver's license; delete all references to. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and reduces unnecessary regulations on activities of individuals by eliminating the absolutely unnecessary, recently created, intermediate driver's license.

The proper role of government is to preserve individual freedom to the fullest extent possible while insuring the safety of its citizens. | ||||
|
HB 573 Good Policy |

|

|
HB 579 Bad Policy |
Motor carrier regulation; update and streamline. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill decreases government accountability and transparency by removing the requirement for a public hearing regarding proposed routes of transportation by applicants. While government should reduce its interference in the free market to the furthest extent possible, the structure of our state government as it currently exists utilizes the Transportation Commission to perform specific functions. One such function is to hold public hearings regarding proposed routes of transportation for commercial carriers. This bill seeks to remove that requirements and designate as discretionary. This action would reduce government transparency in the decision-making process and limit individuals' ability to address their government on this issue. | ||||

| Analysis: This bill in its current form does not change existing law. However, this bill brings forward code section allowing for amendments to be made at a later time. This process reduces government transparency, provides an avenue for bad legislation to go unchecked until the very end of the legislative process, and reduces citizens' representation in decision-making through their elected representatives as active participation in this process is often limited to a select few members of the Legislature appointed to serve on conference committees. | ||||

HB 1245 Neutral |
MDOT; require maintenance of rights-of-way of state highways inside municipal limits with 10,000 or less population. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill specifies the responsible party for maintenance of state highways inside specific municipal limits. While the government should seek to reduce overall spending, essential core functions of government must be maintained. These functions include the maintenance of our roads and their rights-of-way to ensure the safety of our citizens. The responsible party for performing this core function should be the state as the specific rights-of-way addressed in this bill are on state highways. | ||||
