Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Reclaim Local Control Act would change how metropolitan planning organizations are structured across the country. Currently, some of these organizations that handle regional transportation planning are made up entirely of people appointed by governors. Under this bill, within one year of enactment, any metropolitan planning organization composed solely of gubernatorial appointees would either need to be redesignated or restructured to meet federal requirements that likely include representation beyond just governor-appointed members. The bill does not specify funding amounts or establish new programs, but rather imposes a structural requirement on existing regional planning bodies to comply with federal standards for their composition. This legislation would primarily affect regional planning processes and potentially increase local government input in transportation decisions that have been controlled by state-appointed boards.
