The bill establishes the Office of Louisiana Highway Construction within the governor's office, specifically under the division of administration. It outlines the office's responsibilities, which include the study, planning, engineering, design, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of nonfederal aid highways that are part of the state highway system. The bill also defines the term "office" as the Office of Louisiana Highway Construction and details the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the office, including the ability to enter contracts, accept grants, and develop cost-sharing agreements.

Additionally, the bill provides for the appointment of an executive director by the governor, who will oversee the office's operations and manage budget requests for projects. The executive director is also tasked with coordinating functions across state agencies related to office projects and may recommend modifications to policies that impact project management. The office is authorized to utilize emergency procurement procedures until January 1, 2026, and is required to submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works detailing project statuses and timelines. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
