The proposed bill establishes the Office of Louisiana Highway Construction within the office of the governor, specifically under the division of administration. It aims to enhance the planning, execution, and delivery of transportation infrastructure projects, such as roads and bridges, in a manner that is expeditious, transparent, safe, and effective. The office will oversee all aspects of nonfederal aid highways within the state system, including study, planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement. The bill also defines the term "office" as the Office of Louisiana Highway Construction and outlines its powers, duties, and responsibilities, which include entering contracts, accepting grants, and developing cost-sharing guidelines.

Additionally, the bill provides for the appointment of an executive director by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation, who will manage the office's operations and administration. The executive director is tasked with coordinating budget requests, aligning functions across state agencies, and recommending changes to state policies that affect office projects. The office is required to submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works detailing the status and scope of projects. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action.
