The proposed bill, if enacted, 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 modify the existing language in Laws 2024, chapter 211, section 9, which currently states that the appropriation is for fiscal year 2027-2028, changing it to fiscal year 2025-2026.
Additionally, the bill includes technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency with the new appropriation timeline. It also clarifies legislative intent regarding the funding of the overpass project in the newly designated fiscal year. Overall, the bill aims to expedite the funding process for this infrastructure project, reflecting a shift in budgetary priorities.
