Bill Summary
Amending the act of June 1, 1956 (1955 P.L.1944, No.655), entitled "An act providing a permanent allocation of a part of the fuels and liquids fuels tax proceeds to cities, boroughs, incorporated towns and townships, for their road, street and bridge purposes; conferring powers and imposing duties on local officers and the Department of Highways; and making an appropriation out of the Motor License Fund; and repealing existing legislation," further providing for eligibility for receipt of funds relating to recycled asphalt in mixed use design on road or street maintenance.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Liquid Fuels Tax Municipal Allocation Law to expand the requirements for municipalities to qualify for road and street maintenance funding, with a specific focus on recycled asphalt usage. The bill adds a sixth qualification for municipalities, requiring them to allow recycled asphalt materials (including reclaimed asphalt pavement and recycled asphalt shingles) in road or street maintenance projects when purchasing asphalt pavement. The Department of Highways must now develop regulations that specify: the maximum allowable amount of recycled materials in mixed-use designs, performance testing standards for mixtures containing recycled asphalt, and protocols for integrating different types of recycled materials to ensure compatibility. This change aims to promote the use of recycled materials in infrastructure maintenance, potentially reducing waste and supporting more sustainable road construction practices. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving municipalities and the department time to prepare for the new requirements.
