4/11/05-A bill under review before the full House would allow the state highway department to increase speeds on rural highways beyond the 75 mph limit.
Sponsored by Sen. Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert, SB1330 would simply permit, but not require, Arizona’s transportation director to make the change.
The bill previously passed the Senate. If approved in the House, it would go to Gov. Janet Napolitano.
