Provides that the Director of the Department of Transportation shall be appointed by the Governor

Summary

The amendment would replace Section 29 of Article IV with language that makes the governor, subject to Senate approval, responsible for appointing the Department of Transportation director. It also establishes a Highways and Transportation Commission to advise the governor and oversee highways, aviation, rail, mass transit, ports and waterborne commerce, with membership rules set by law. The change is intended to clarify leadership and oversight of the state’s transportation system.
