BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:
SECTION 1. Section 65-1-75, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
65-1-75. (1) The Mississippi Transportation Commission is authorized and empowered to have the Transportation Department locate, construct, reconstruct and maintain any designated state highway under its jurisdiction to, through, across or around any municipality in the state, regardless of the width of the street between curbs; and in so locating it is fully empowered to follow the route of the existing street or to depart therefrom, as in its discretion it deems advisable, and to obtain and pay for the necessary rights-of-way, as provided in Section 65-1-47. The municipality in which such construction is to be undertaken is likewise authorized to acquire rights-of-way on any such streets or on any newly located routes, either by purchase, gift or condemnation. Such rights-of-way may be acquired by either the municipality or the Transportation Department, subject to the approval of the commission, and the cost thereof may be borne by either or both as may be mutually agreed upon. In any event such municipality may be required to save the commission and department harmless from any claims for damages arising from the construction of the highway through such municipality, including claims for rights-of-way, change of grade line, interference with public structures, and any and all damages so arising. Municipalities may secure additional improvements by payment of the additional cost of same. The commission may require such municipality to cause to be laid all water, sewer, gas or other pipelines or conduits, together with all necessary house or lot connections or services, to the curb line of such road or street to be constructed, and the commission is authorized to refuse to have the department lay such pipelines or conduits beneath such roads or streets until the municipality has laid same or entered into an agreement to reimburse the commission or department for the expense thereby incurred.
(2) All construction of state highways in or through municipalities, where done at the cost and expense of the state, whether heretofore or hereafter, shall be maintained in the same manner and to the same extent as is construction on state highways outside the limits of municipalities to the end that investment of the state in such highway so constructed may be preserved and maintained; and all reasonable rules and regulations with reference to the preservation and maintenance of such highways constructed at state expense, whether within or without municipal limits, may be promulgated by the commission, except that it shall have no power to promulgate police regulations contrary to existing law. On any municipal streets or parts or sections thereof taken over for regular maintenance and maintained by the department as a part of the state highway system, the municipality shall not be liable for negligence occasioned by the maintenance or repair of such streets thus apportioned to and of such width as is maintained by the department. The municipality shall have full control and responsibility beyond the curb lines of any designated highway or street, whether heretofore or hereafter so designated, (except the interstate system) located within its present or future expanded municipal corporate limits, regardless of the ownership of the right-of-way, including, but not limited to, the construction and maintenance of sidewalks, grass mowing and drainage systems; however, the department may utilize the right-of-way purchased by the commission without any additional cost or permission.
The municipality shall not allow any encroachments, signs or billboards to be erected or to remain on state-owned rights-of-way on any designated highway within its corporate limits without the consent of the commission. The municipality, at its own expense, shall provide street illumination and shall clean all streets, including storm sewer inlets and catch basins. The commission may enter into an agreement with the municipality or with a private entity to sweep and clean the designated highways within or without the corporate limits. The commission may, at state expense, provide illumination and may clean all interstate highways within the corporate limits of any municipality. The right of the municipality to grant franchises over, beneath and upon such streets is specifically retained, but the municipality shall require every grantee of a franchise to restore, repair and replace to its original condition any portion of any such street damaged or injured by it; however, permission to open the surface of any municipal street maintained by the department must be obtained from both the commission and the municipality concerned before any such opening is made. Each municipality shall retain full police power over its streets, particularly as to regulating and enforcing traffic and parking restrictions on such streets, but any traffic control and parking regulations repugnant to state law shall be null and void. The commission shall have the department erect, control and maintain all highway route markers and directional signs on such streets at state expense. The commission, at state expense, shall have the department install, operate, maintain, control, and have full jurisdiction over, all traffic control devices, including, but not limited to, signals, signs, striping and lane markings on state highway streets in municipalities having a population of twenty thousand (20,000) or less according to the current United States census; but municipalities over twenty thousand (20,000) population according to such census shall install, operate, maintain and control such devices at their own expense, subject to approval of the executive director regarding operations, method of installation and type only. Municipalities having a population of five thousand (5,000) or more but less than twenty thousand (20,000) according to the most recent federal census shall only be responsible for electrical operating costs; and all other costs for the installation, operation and maintenance of traffic control devices, including the changing of signal bulbs in traffic signal lights, shall be the responsibility of the Transportation Department. The commission may purchase at state expense and install traffic control devices in municipalities over twenty thousand (20,000) population and donate them to the municipalities for operation and maintenance whenever it appears to the commission that, in the interest of safety or convenience of the motoring public, any of the devices should be upgraded, replaced or removed. Any revenue from parking meters on any such streets shall be controlled by and belong to the municipality.
(3) The maintenance of all streets within the limits of any municipality in this state, regardless of size, which are presently being regularly maintained, in whole or in part, by the department at state expense as a part or parts of any designated state highway shall be continued. Whenever any state highway runs into or through the corporate limits of any municipality, the municipal street or the street utilized and marked as a part of any such state highway may be a part of the state highway system and may be maintained by the department; however, such route through any municipality shall be selected by the commission by orders spread on its minutes describing all such routes, and such route or routes may be changed, relocated or abandoned by the commission from time to time, all under the provisions, terms and conditions herein provided, but the commission shall have the department maintain only one (1) route of any highway through a municipality. Upon relocation of such state highway or abandonment thereof, the municipal street formerly used as a state highway shall thereby return to the jurisdiction of, and maintenance by, the municipality.
(4) Beginning on the effective date of House Bill No. 359, 2018 Regular Session, notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any of the highways, or segments of, listed in or governed by this section for which construction has not begun and right-of-way acquisition has not occurred shall not proceed with right-of-way acquisition, construction or any other procedure related to construction of a new highway or segment of highway. Any funds that were designated for use on such highways, or segments of highway, shall be used on existing highways.

(ii) Contracts for highway segments designated in this subsection shall have priority over contracts for highway segments that have the same level of service in any priority schedule adopted by the Transportation Commission under subsection (5) of this section.
(iii) It is the intention of the Legislature that no contracts for highway segments in subsections (4) and (5) of this section may be let before all highway segments under subsection (3) of this section have been let for contract.
(c) In the construction and reconstruction of the four-lane highway segments designated in this subsection, the Mississippi Department of Transportation may utilize the roadway of any existing highway under its jurisdiction and control and shall do so when such utilization is feasible, provided that such highways which are utilized shall be constructed to current standards for such roadways. When it is not feasible to utilize existing designated highways, the Transportation Department shall relocate such highways and construct entirely new facilities whether in urban or rural areas.
(5) (a) (i) The Transportation Commission shall construct, upgrade or improve the segments described in paragraphs (f), (g) and (h) of this subsection, the projects described in Section 65-39-1 and other highway construction under its jurisdiction, in accordance with a priority schedule based upon a needs analysis performed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The priority schedule shall be reviewed annually by the Department of Transportation to determine if the priority schedule is in need of revision. The analytic methods and procedures utilized by the Mississippi Department of Transportation to perform the needs analysis shall conform to current standards and practices of the transportation sciences and industry as promulgated in appropriate documentation of the United States Department of Transportation, the Transportation Research Board, the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials, and other recognized and relevant bodies. Such conforming methodologies shall be applied utilizing considerations appropriate to the specific situation and may include capacity analysis, traffic counting, traffic projection, cost estimation, benefit-cost analysis, user cost analysis, land use projections and similar analyses and projections, so that all analyses are completed with the best tools available at the time of the analysis. The Transportation Commission may establish and publish standards for setting the priorities and in so doing shall consider other factors, not in violation of federal law, as the Transportation Commission may consider relevant, including, but not limited to, economic development, safety and highways that may serve as hurricane evacuation routes. The first determinant for construction of highway segments shall be the year of need. "Year of need" for purposes of this section is the year in which the level of service on a segment is projected to deteriorate to an unacceptable level. For segments with the same year of need, prioritization shall be based on the volume to capacity ratio and the daily traffic volume. In the event that the Transportation Commission deviates from the recommended priorities presented through the needs analysis, the commission shall spread the specific reasons for the deviation on its minutes. The priority schedule shall reflect immediate needs which shall be construction, upgrades and improvements to the state highway system needed over a five-year period based upon the criteria established in this paragraph which shall be reviewed annually by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The priority schedule shall project mid-range needs which shall include highway corridors that are projected to reach an unacceptable level of service within ten (10) years after each annual review of the priority schedule. The priority schedule shall project long-range needs which shall include highway corridors that are projected to reach an unacceptable level of service ten (10) years or more after each annual review of the priority schedule.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section to the contrary, projects for the construction, reconstruction, improvement or modification of any highway or highway segment required to be performed by the Mississippi Transportation Commission and/or the Mississippi Department of Transportation by any act of the Legislature that was enacted and became effective before July 1, 2002, shall be given priority over any other projects that are authorized or directed to be performed by the Mississippi Transportation Commission and/or the Mississippi Department of Transportation under the provisions of this section or under the provisions of any other legislation that is enacted or becomes effective after July 1, 2002.
(b) On or before October 1, 2005, and on or before October 1 of each year thereafter, the Transportation Commission shall present to the Highways and Transportation Committee of the Senate and the Transportation Committee of the House of Representatives the schedule of priorities developed as provided for in paragraph (a) of this subsection reflecting the proposed schedule of construction for segments. The proposed schedule shall be followed until later modified based on the criteria established in paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(c) The Transportation Commission shall begin letting projects based upon the prioritized schedule of need not later than January 1, 2006; however, the commission shall have the
flexibility to adjust the sequencing of projects as may be required in order to maximize the utilization of available funding or to accommodate the relative requirement of each individual project. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the Transportation Commission to let contracts for projects based upon the prioritized schedule of need before completion of the letting of contracts under subsection (3)(c) of this section.
(d) Funds deposited into the special funds created in Section 65-39-3 or 65-39-17 may only be expended as provided for in Sections 65-39-1 through 65-39-37; however, funds otherwise generated may be expended on segments included in Section 65-39-1 that are in the prioritized schedule established pursuant to this subsection, as well as other projects included in such schedule.
(e) For fiscal year 2006 and each fiscal year thereafter, the Transportation Commission shall dedicate not less than Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00) in state and/or federal funds to fund the program established by subsections (4) and (5) of this section.

(b) In any case in which the Transportation Commission authorizes the construction of a highway segment of less than ten (10) miles in length, the commission shall set forth and record in its official minutes explanation and justification therefor based upon one or more of the conditions prescribed in paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(12) (a) To assist in defraying the costs and expenses for construction, reconstruction and relocation of the four-lane highway system described in this section, the following revenues shall be paid out of such funds made available to the Transportation Commission and the Mississippi Department of Transportation:
(i) From matched federal funds or other federal funds, Thirty-two Million Dollars ($32,000,000.00) for fiscal year 1988, Twenty-five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) for fiscal year 1989, Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) for fiscal year 1990 and fifty percent (50%) of such federal funds for fiscal year 1991 and each fiscal year thereafter; and
(ii) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) from matched federal bridge replacement funds for fiscal year 1988 and each fiscal year thereafter when the segments proposed for construction contain bridges that are eligible for replacement under the Federal Aid Bridge Replacement Program.
(b) Federal funds in addition to the federal funds specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection may be used for the construction, reconstruction and relocation of the four-lane highway system described in this section. Such federal funds may be utilized in lieu of state funding that would otherwise be utilized for such system; provided, however, that the annual total amount of funding for the construction, reconstruction and relocation of the highway system described in this section shall not be less than it would have otherwise been without the utilization of such additional federal funds.
(13) The Transportation Department shall submit a report to the Legislature by January 10 of each calendar year setting forth the current status of the construction program set forth in this section to include, but not be limited to, the following information:
(a) Specific segments on which engineering is being performed or has been completed;
(b) Specific segments for which right-of-way has been acquired or is being acquired;
(c) Specific segments for which construction contracts have been let;
(d) Specific segments on which construction is in progress;
(e) Specific segments on which construction has been completed;
(f) Projections for completion of the next step on each segment;
(g) Revenue derived for such construction program from each revenue source contained in Chapter 322, Laws of 1987, and in Chapter 557, Laws of 1994;
(h) For each fiscal year beginning in 1994, a detailed cash flow projection by source of program activities and an estimate of when the program will encounter a funding shortage due to costs exceeding original projections;
(i) A schedule of all complete and open-to-traffic highway segments and the related total cost of each segment;
(j) A schedule of all highway segments on which all contracts necessary for completion of the segments were not let as of the date required by law;
(k) A complete recap of all program receipts by source, and of all disbursements for the prior fiscal year and cumulative totals since the inception of the program as compared to projections; and
(l) A statement from the Department of Transportation regarding the status of the funding of the program based on agency cost experience and projections for the future.
The report shall be deemed submitted when ten (10) copies are submitted to the Clerk of the House of Representatives and ten (10) copies are submitted to the Secretary of the Senate.
(14) Beginning on the effective date of House Bill No. 359, 2018 Regular Session, notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any of the highways, or segments of, listed in or governed by this section for which construction has not begun and right-of-way acquisition has not occurred shall not proceed with right-of-way acquisition, construction or any other procedure related to construction of a new highway or segment of highway. Any funds that were designated for use on such highways, or segments of highway, shall be used on existing highways.
SECTION 5. Section 65-9-1, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
65-9-1. (1) The board of supervisors of each county, now having full jurisdiction over all roads, ferries, and bridges in its respective county not maintained as state highways, is hereby fully authorized and empowered to construct and maintain the same (including designated state highways not yet taken over by the highway department); and all such roads under the jurisdiction of the several boards of supervisors are hereby designated, defined, and declared to be either (a) "feeder" or "local farm roads" or (b) "state aid roads."
State aid roads are hereby defined as that group or class of roads composing the main collector and distributor routes feeding into local trade areas or into the state highway network, which are not designated as state highways by the Legislature, and particularly those essential to the conservation and development of natural resources, of economic and social value, and encouraging desirable land utilization, having in addition the following characteristics, to wit: roads (including bridges and ferries) which
(a) Connect communities within the individual counties and with those of adjoining counties and/or which also connect with the state highway system to form a complete network of secondary or collector routes.
(b) Carry heavy volumes of traffic serving most of the following interests of the counties, to wit:
( * * *i) Agricultural;
( * * *ii) Business;
( * * *iii) Educational; and
( * * *iv) Industrial.
The State Aid Engineer shall see that the criteria imposed herein are explicitly followed in the designation and in the construction of the state aid roads in each county. The State Aid Engineer shall promulgate regulations pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act to require the development of a network of intercounty roads and to provide for a review process within the state aid division for the designation of said state aid roads. Such regulations shall also establish standards for state aid route designation. The State Aid Engineer is hereby authorized and directed to withhold funds from such counties until the state aid roads therein are designated and constructed according to the characteristics set forth herein.
All other roads under the jurisdiction of the several boards of supervisors are hereby declared to be "local farm roads" and not affected in anywise by this chapter.
State aid roads in the several counties shall be eligible for state aid in the manner and under the terms and conditions hereinafter set out. Local system roads (as defined in Section 65-18-3) in the several counties shall be eligible for state aid in the manner and under the terms and conditions set out in the Local System Road Program established in Sections 65-18-1 through 65-18-17. State aid, by way of funds to be expended on state aid roads and local system roads (as defined in Section 65-18-3), shall consist of any sum or sums provided by the Legislature to supplement funds furnished by the several counties for the purpose of constructing, improving, widening, straightening, surfacing, or reconstructing roads on the state aid system or for the purpose of the construction, reconstruction and paving of roads on the Local System Road Program, and shall be available to the several counties in such proportion as may be fixed and determined by law.
(2) Beginning on the effective date of House Bill No. 359, 2018 Regular Session, notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any of the state aid roads governed by this section for which construction has not begun and right-of-way acquisition has not occurred shall not proceed with right-of-way acquisition, construction or any other procedure related to construction of a new highway or segment of highway. Any funds that were designated for use on such highways, or segments of highway, shall be used on existing highways.
SECTION 6. Section 65-9-3, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
65-9-3. (1) There is hereby set up for designation by cooperative action of the state and counties a state aid system of roads (including bridges and ferries), as classified and defined in Section 65-9-1, which system shall be designated by the several boards of supervisors in their respective counties, with the consent and approval of the State Aid Engineer, to a total mileage not in excess of twenty-five thousand eight hundred fifty-seven and four-hundredths (25,857.04) miles not including any municipal streets, except that a state aid route may be extended into a municipality in order to make a convenient and orderly connection with the nearest paved or surfaced street or highway capable of carrying the traffic originating on or destined for such state aid route and thereby making a systematic connection with the highway and street systems of the state and its political subdivisions. Such system may be modified or revised from time to time by mutual agreement between the said boards of supervisors and the State Aid Engineer. Mileage on the state aid system shall be allocated to the several counties of the state in the following proportions:
(a) One-third (1/3) shall be allocated to all counties in equal shares;
(b) One-third (1/3) shall be allocated to counties based on the proportion that the total number of rural road miles in a county bears to the total number of rural road miles in all counties of the state; and
(c) One-third (1/3) shall be allocated to counties based on the proportion that the rural population of the county bears to the total rural population in all counties of the state, according to the latest federal decennial census.
(2) If the number of miles allocated to any county in accordance with the formula specified in subsection (1) of this section for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1994 is less than the number of miles allocated to that county for fiscal year 1994, then each county in that situation shall be allocated an additional number of miles that, when added to the number of miles allocated to the county in accordance with the formula specified in subsection (1) of this section, will be equal to the number of miles allocated to the county for fiscal year 1994.
(3) Beginning on the effective date of House Bill No. 359, 2018 Regular Session, notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any of the state aid roads governed by this section for which construction has not begun and right-of-way acquisition has not occurred shall not proceed with right-of-way acquisition, construction or any other procedure related to construction of a new highway or segment of highway. Any funds that were designated for use on such highways, or segments of highway, shall be used on existing highways.
SECTION 7. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
