What it does
The Public Inspectors for Safe Infrastructure Act would require that construction inspection work for federally funded highway projects be performed by public employees, such as state or local government staff, rather than private contractors. If a transportation agency lacks sufficient staff, it may use temporary consultant contracts for up to 12 months, but must annually report and justify these exceptions to the Secretary of Transportation, who will make the reports publicly available. The bill aims to increase accountability and transparency in infrastructure oversight by ensuring government employees oversee critical quality and safety functions on highway projects.
