Bill > HB2772

This bill modifies the Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund (ROADS Fund) by increasing its annual funding and expanding its potential uses. Specifically, the bill increases the fund's total annual allocation to $610 million starting in fiscal year 2025, and adds a new provision that allows $20 million per year from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2033 to be specifically used for constructing, repairing, and maintaining weigh stations on the state highway system. The bill eliminates previous requirements for the State Board of Equalization to investigate fund expenditures and removes language preventing the fund from supplanting existing transportation funding. The ROADS Fund can continue to be used for various transportation-related expenses, including state road and bridge construction and maintenance, highway system operations, equipment purchases, and debt service. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, and contains an emergency clause to ensure immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
