If enacted, this bill would amend section 28-650 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow individuals, contractors, or political subdivisions performing work on roads, streets, or highways to utilize volunteer retired police officers to maintain a visible police presence at construction sites. This addition aims to enhance safety and visibility at these locations.
The bill also makes minor technical changes to the existing language, specifically clarifying the responsibilities of those performing work on roadways regarding the posting and maintenance of warning signs, signals, markers, and barricades. The phrase "such time as" would be removed to streamline the text, while the requirement to maintain these safety measures until the work is completed or authorized for removal by the governing body remains unchanged.
