AI Summary

This bill revises the allocation formula for the Local System Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Fund in Mississippi. It defines a "deficient bridge" as one with a fair or less condition rating for its deck, superstructure, or substructure, and requires bridges to be deficient to be eligible for the program. The bill changes the allocation formula to be based on the proportion of local system bridges and their total deck area in each county, rather than the proportion of deficient bridges and local road miles. It also requires counties to perform National Bridge Inspection Standard-compliant inspections on bridges replaced or repaired under the program, and allows counties to use funds for repairing state aid roads or local system roads if their deficient bridges have been addressed.
