- It repeals provisions related to funding for technical assistance in areas around proposed multiuse corridor interchanges.
- It requires $35 million transferred annually to Florida's Turnpike Enterprise to be used for feeder roads, structures, interchanges, and other access to the existing turnpike system, rather than for multiuse corridor access.
