Bill > HB1060

This bill modifies the current law regarding highway maintenance payments to municipalities for transferred state highways. Specifically, it changes the annual maintenance payment rate from $4,000 to $12,500 per mile of highway transferred and introduces an automatic adjustment mechanism beginning February 1, 2028. Under the new provision, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will calculate maintenance payment increases every 24 months based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The percentage increase will be applied to the annual maintenance payments and rounded to the nearest dollar, with the department required to publish the adjustment details in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The bill aims to provide a more dynamic and inflation-responsive funding mechanism for municipalities maintaining transferred state highways, ensuring that maintenance payments keep pace with economic changes. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
