Summary

The SAFE ROADS Act changes the state's liability for damages caused by defects on state‑maintained highways. It limits liability to situations where a dangerous condition existed, the state knew or should have known about it, and the injury was caused by that condition, while preserving several exemptions. The bill aims to clarify responsibility and encourage better road inspection and maintenance.
