Bill > SB00716

This bill proposes to amend section 13b-69 of the general statutes to ensure that all revenue collected for transportation construction and maintenance must be spent exclusively on state transportation systems and projects. The legislation specifically targets the Special Transportation Fund, which is a dedicated funding source for transportation infrastructure, and aims to prevent any diversion of these funds to non-transportation purposes. By mandating that every dollar collected through transportation-related revenues can only be used for transportation construction, maintenance, and related projects, the bill seeks to provide greater fiscal transparency and accountability, ensuring that money intended for transportation infrastructure is used precisely for its original purpose. This approach can help maintain and improve transportation infrastructure by guaranteeing a more direct and focused use of transportation-related funds.
