This bill mandates that the state transportation commission prioritize the improvement of United States highway 30, which runs from the Missouri River west of Missouri Valley to the Mississippi River east of Clinton. The commission is required to include plans in its long-range program to upgrade all segments of the highway that are currently two-lane roadways to four-lane divided roadways, with the goal of eventually converting the entire length of the highway to this standard.

The bill amends Section 307A.2, subsection 5 of the Code 2025, by inserting specific language that emphasizes the importance of this highway improvement in the commission's long-range planning. This addition highlights the commitment to enhancing the infrastructure of United States highway 30 as part of the state's comprehensive transportation policy.
