Bill Summary
This bill increases the capital program appropriation for the Airport Improvement Program from $4 million to $10 million, increasing the total size of the FY2022 State transportation capital program by an additional $6 million to $2.006 billion. This bill also increases the General Fund appropriation to the Airport Safety Administration within the Department of Transportation by $185,000 from $465,000 to $650,000. Finally, the bill provides that grantees which receive grants through the Airport Improvement Program are to be granted two 12-month extensions to complete the terms of a grant if there are local, county, or State permits pending that pose an impediment to completing the grant-funded activity. The Commissioner of Transportation may also provide additional extensions beyond those 24 months if circumstances warrant and a permitting agency is the source of delay in completing the terms of the grant agreement.
