Bill > SB1349

This bill modifies the Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety (ROADS) Fund by expanding the annual funding allocation for future fiscal years. Specifically, the bill increases the total fund apportionment from $610 million in fiscal year 2025 to progressively larger amounts, culminating in $1 billion for fiscal year 2034 and subsequent years. The fund, which is used by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, will continue to receive monthly allocations from state revenue sources, with funds designated for state road and bridge construction, maintenance, equipment purchases, debt service, and the specific addition of $20 million per year (from fiscal years 2025-2033) for weigh station construction and maintenance. In the event of a state revenue shortfall, the fund's allocations can be proportionally reduced. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2026, and is declared an emergency measure, meaning it can take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This legislation ensures continued and increasing investment in Oklahoma's transportation infrastructure over the next decade.
