If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the responsibilities of individuals or entities performing work on roads, streets, or highways. Specifically, it would insert a provision allowing these parties to use volunteer retired police officers to maintain a visible police presence at construction sites. This addition aims to enhance safety and visibility for both workers and the public during construction activities.

Additionally, the bill would make a technical change by replacing the phrase "such time as" with "until" in the existing requirement for posting and maintaining warning signs, signals, markers, and barricades. The overall structure of the current law remains intact, with the new provisions seamlessly integrated to clarify the roles and responsibilities of contractors and political subdivisions in ensuring safety at construction sites.
