Summary: The House Transportation Committee met for its first meeting of the 2026 session, with the chair noting the committee’s regular meeting time has changed to 10:00 a.m. on Tuesdays. Members were introduced to committee staff and reminded of procedural rules, including the 24-hour amendment rule. The committee also recognized a guest in attendance, Judge Hector Akala of Meny County. The committee heard House Bill 140, relating to highway pavement markings, from Representative Candy Maseroni. She said the bill responds to complaints from first responders and constituents about poor nighttime visibility of road markings and would require the Transportation Department to inspect completed work after six months to ensure markings remain visible. After questions about responsibility for noncompliant work, the bill was reported favorably. The committee then considered House Bill 144, relating to motor vehicle titles, from Representative Huff, with testimony from Dustin Miller of State Farm Insurance. The bill would change title-junking standards by focusing on cosmetic damage rather than damage that requires a junk title, such as hail damage. A committee substitute was adopted, and the bill was reported favorably. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 189, relating to pedestrian safety, from Representative Jackson, with testimony from Gracie Kelly of the Kentucky League of Cities and Jeremy Thompson of the Kentucky Chiefs Association. The bill would create a statewide standard limiting stationary pedestrian presence in state right-of-way, with penalties under existing pedestrian citation provisions; members asked about constitutional concerns, definitions of state right-of-way, and local permitting. After discussion, the bill was reported favorably. At the end of the meeting, two members recorded missed yes votes on House Bills 140 and 144, and the committee adjourned with a reminder that it would meet again the following Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.
