(1) before the department closes a bridge or road within the legislative delegation's county for repairs that will not be completed within a forty-five-day period. However, this provision does not apply when the department must close a bridge or road pursuant to an emergency situation; and
(2) before the department conducts vegetation management of the medians, roadsides, and interchanges along the interstate highway system within the legislative delegation's county in accordance with the department commission's transportation district-by-district policy. However, this provision only applies when the department commission makes revisions to its policy."
SECTION 2. Section 57-23-800 of the 1976 Code is repealed.
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
