This bill aims to eliminate the expiration date of the interagency, multijurisdictional system improvement team, known as SYNC, which was initially established to enhance coordination among state infrastructure programs. The team, comprising representatives from various state departments, is tasked with identifying and implementing system improvements that maximize state investments, minimize costs, and ensure long-term resilience for communities, particularly focusing on distressed and rural areas. The bill also mandates that the team provide a biennial report to the legislature starting November 1, 2026, detailing funded projects, coordination efforts, and regional planning activities.

Key amendments include the removal of the sunset provision that would have dissolved the team on June 30, 2025, and the establishment of a new reporting timeline. The bill emphasizes the importance of ongoing collaboration among state agencies to address emerging environmental issues and infrastructure needs, ensuring that the team continues to operate effectively without interruption. Additionally, it reinforces the requirement for the team to inform the public works board of any statutory or regulatory barriers encountered in their efforts to improve infrastructure systems.
