If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by allowing the Town of Patagonia to utilize the FY 2024 appropriation of $1,500,000 for the reconstruction of McKeown Avenue not only between Fourth Avenue West and State Route 82, as previously specified, but also between Third Avenue West and State Route 82. This change expands the scope of the project to include an additional section of the roadway.

The bill would insert new language that clarifies the additional use of the appropriated funds, while maintaining the existing provisions outlined in Laws 2023, Chapter 135. The current statute regarding the appropriation would remain unchanged, but the new language would explicitly authorize the broader use of the funds for the specified reconstruction project.
