This amendment changes the bill to require local authorities to decrease (rather than establish) speed limits on unpaved roads, removes the automatic 55 mph cap, and adds a process allowing local authorities to increase speed limits back to 55 mph only after conducting a speed study or holding a public hearing.
- Deletes the entire first line of the bill, which previously stated the purpose of authorizing local authorities to set maximum speed limits on unpaved roadways without conditions. (Page 1, line 3)
- Changes the bill's language from referring to a 'maximum speed limit' to 'as specified,' making the bill's purpose less prescriptive about what local authorities can do. (Page 1, line 4)
- Changes the verb from 'establishes' to 'decreases' in the context of local authority actions on speed limits for unpaved roads. (Page 2, line 11)
- Changes the phrase from 'establish a' to 'decrease the' to align with the shift from establishing to decreasing speed limits. (Page 2, lines 15)
- Removes the automatic authorization for a maximum speed limit of 55 miles per hour, eliminating the unconditional cap previously included in subsection (f). (Page 2, lines 16)
- Adds a new provision allowing local authorities to increase the maximum speed limit to not more than 55 mph for unpaved roadways, but only if they either conduct a speed study in accordance with department rules or hold a public hearing following the statutory procedure in W.S. 16-4-401 through 16-4-408. (Page 2, line 19)
