The proposal would shift responsibility for constructing and maintaining state highways to counties while preserving current county road revenues. Compensation for counties losing highways would be decided later by the Legislature. The amendment mirrors existing systems in most states, with a federal deadline of three years to adopt or lose federal highway funds.
