Bill > HB901

This bill increases the percentage of funds from the Gasoline and Motor Vehicle Revenue Account that will be appropriated to Baltimore City for capital grants, raising the allocation from 9.5% to 12.2% beginning in fiscal year 2028. The Gasoline and Motor Vehicle Revenue Account is part of the Transportation Trust Fund and receives revenue from sources like motor vehicle fuel taxes, vehicle titling taxes, vehicle registration fees, and certain sales tax distributions. The bill maintains existing provisions that these capital grants can only be appropriated after funding debt service requirements and departmental operating expenses, and only if sufficient funds are available for the capital program. The change specifically impacts how highway user revenues are distributed, providing Baltimore City with a larger share of transportation-related funds for capital improvements. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, setting the stage for the increased funding allocation in fiscal year 2028.
