AI Summary
This bill creates the Neighborhood Road Fund in the state treasury, which will receive $100,000,000 annually from state income tax revenues for fiscal years 2025-2026 through 2029-2030. Of this amount, $100,000,000 will be dedicated specifically to repairing closed, restricted, and critical bridges as determined by the local bridge advisory board. The remaining funds will be distributed to road agencies (county road commissions and city/village road agencies) based on a formula that allocates money proportionally to their total road mileage. Each county road commission will first receive a base $100,000, with the remaining funds distributed based on their specific road mileage. City and village road agencies will receive funds proportional to their road mileage. County road commissions are required to use these funds exclusively for preservation, maintenance, routine maintenance, and preventative maintenance of county local road systems. Importantly, local governments and county road commissions will not be required to provide matching funds to access this funding. The bill is contingent on the passage of eight related House Bills (4180-4187), and aims to provide dedicated infrastructure funding for local road maintenance and bridge repair.
