Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that funding to counties named in this section from the State Road Construction Account does not affect any funding received by those counties from the State Road Fund.
AI Summary
This bill ensures that any money allocated to specific counties from the State Road Construction Account, which is a special fund within the State Road Fund used for highway and bridge projects, will not reduce the amount of funding those same counties receive from the general State Road Fund. The State Road Construction Account is designated for specific construction, maintenance, and repair projects outlined in the Division of Highways' Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan or SOS Transportation Investment Program Candidate Project List as of certain dates in 2017, and it lists ten specific counties that are eligible to receive these funds. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Division of Highways study any funding disputes related to this provision between its effective date and January 1, 2027.
