Bill Summary

This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to compensate municipalities, counties, or other local government entities for delay damages on transportation projects supported through the local aid program, if those delay damages resulted from the shutdown of Transportation Trust Fund projects pursuant to Executive Order No. 210 of 2016 (executive order). The bill also permits a local government entity to use its own funds to continue or complete a transportation project that was halted as a result of the executive order. The bill prohibits DOT or any other executive branch agency from withholding, revoking, or otherwise canceling certain local aid due to the local government entity's decision to use its funds to continue or complete the transportation project.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to compensate local government entities, such as municipalities and counties, for any financial losses they incurred due to project delays caused by the shutdown of transportation projects funded by the Transportation Trust Fund, a state fund for transportation infrastructure, as a result of Executive Order No. 210 of 2016. It also allows these local entities to use their own money to continue or finish transportation projects that were stopped because of that executive order, and it prevents the DOT or other state agencies from taking away or canceling any local aid that these entities receive from the DOT, even if they decide to use their own funds for these projects.
