Enacts the stop highway community harm act

Summary

The bill prohibits the state from approving or funding any highway projects that add travel lanes within 200 feet of public housing, in zip codes with high asthma emergency rates, or in designated environmental justice communities. A waiver can be granted only after a thorough safety and alternatives analysis, a public comment period, and a finding of a specific safety hazard. The measure seeks to reduce health and environmental harms linked to highway expansion in vulnerable neighborhoods.
