Bill > H2734

This bill seeks to restore the Harbors and Inland Waters Maintenance Fund. The key provisions are: 1) Allocating 0.05% of the revenue from the motor fuel excise tax to the Harbors and Inland Waters Maintenance Fund, with the remaining 99.80% going to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund and 0.15% going to the Inland Fisheries and Game Fund. 2) Establishing the Harbors and Inland Waters Maintenance Fund, which will be used by the Department of Conservation and Recreation for continuous maintenance dredging and cleaning of harbors, inland waters, and great ponds, including the removal of hazards like sunken vessels and derelict piers. The fund will be funded through the motor fuel excise tax allocation as well as other sources like federal government reimbursements.
