If this bill were to become law, it 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 the new fiscal year 2025-2026 designation. Additionally, the bill would include amendments to previous laws that reference this appropriation, ensuring that the updated timeline is consistent across all relevant statutes.
The bill also clarifies legislative intent regarding the funding of the overpass project, explicitly stating that the legislature intends for the project to be funded in fiscal year 2025-2026. Furthermore, it makes technical and conforming changes to ensure that the new language aligns with existing statutes. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the funding process for the overpass project by moving the appropriation forward by two years.
