Rep. Sullivan’s first bill signed by Gov. Pence

STATEHOUSE – House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1286 authored by State Representative Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) was signed into law by Governor Pence.

HEA 1286 requires the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), the Indiana Finance Authority and Purdue University to provide annual reports to the Joint Study Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Assessment and Solutions regarding the condition of Indiana’s transportation network and infrastructure.

“This legislation is centered on government transparency,” said Rep. Sullivan. “The information gathered from these reports will give the study committee better insight into the needs of the transportation systems in Indiana and allow them to make more informed decisions. To great effect, this was practiced in last year’s summer study committee with the BMV and INDOT.”

“As the Crossroads of America, we need to continue setting a precedence of high standards and constant improvement for our roads and bridges and everything in between,” said Rep. Sullivan.

The annual reports will be submitted by Aug. 1st of 2014 and 2015.
