If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by accelerating the appropriation of $49,000,000 from the state General Fund for the construction of an overpass at Riggs Road and State Route 347 from fiscal year 2028 to fiscal year 2026. Specifically, it would replace the current language that specifies the appropriation for fiscal year 2027-2028 with new language indicating the appropriation for fiscal year 2025-2026.
Additionally, the bill would make technical and conforming changes to existing laws, including updates to references in previous appropriations made by Laws 2021, 2022, and 2023. It would also clarify legislative intent regarding the funding timeline for the overpass project, ensuring that it aligns with the new fiscal year designation.
