Bill > SB1319

This bill amends the Motor Fuel Tax Law to modify how motor fuel tax proceeds are distributed. Specifically, the bill requires that $27,000,000 be transferred each month from the Road Fund to the Department of Transportation, which will then distribute these funds to municipalities, counties, and road districts across the state according to a predetermined formula. The distribution will be in addition to existing allocations, with 49.10% going to municipalities, 16.74% to counties with over 1 million inhabitants, 18.27% to counties with fewer than 1 million inhabitants, and 15.89% to road districts. The allocation to road districts is contingent upon their levying a certain level of road and bridge taxes, with the amount potentially adjusted proportionally based on their tax levy. This change aims to provide consistent, formula-based funding for local transportation infrastructure across Illinois, ensuring that different levels of local government receive a predictable amount of motor fuel tax revenue for road maintenance and improvement.
