This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $15,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to support the state match advantage for the rural transportation fund. This funding aims to enhance transportation services in rural areas, addressing the needs of communities that may lack adequate transportation infrastructure.

The bill introduces new language that establishes the appropriation and specifies the amount allocated to the rural transportation fund, as outlined in the new insertions. There are no deletions or changes to existing statutes, meaning that the current law remains intact while the new funding provision is added to support rural transportation initiatives.
