AI Summary
This bill modifies existing laws concerning road and bridge funding and sales tax apportionment. It adjusts the funding amounts for the Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund (ROADS Fund), which is used by the Department of Transportation for road and bridge construction, maintenance, and related expenses, including debt service on certain obligations. The bill also updates references within these laws and removes some previous restrictions on how these funds can be used. Additionally, it creates a new "Weight Stations and Ports of Entry Fund" to be used for building and maintaining weigh stations and ports of entry, and it allocates a portion of sales tax revenue to this new fund for several fiscal years. The bill also includes provisions for notifying legislative leaders and affected districts if road projects are delayed or removed from the state's construction plan. Finally, it specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency to allow the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
