The proposed Bill No. 45, introduced in the General Assembly, seeks to amend section 13b-69 of the general statutes. The bill is sponsored by SEN. SAMPSON of the 16th District, REP. MASTROFRANCESCO of the 80th District, and REP. DAUPHINAIS of the 44th District. The amendment would stipulate that any revenue deposited into the Special Transportation Fund must be used exclusively for the construction and maintenance of state transportation systems and projects. This change would prevent the funds from being used for other expenses, such as fringe benefit expenses.

The purpose of this act is to ensure that the resources of the Special Transportation Fund are dedicated solely to transportation-related expenditures. By restricting the use of these funds, the bill aims to prioritize the development and upkeep of the state's transportation infrastructure. The bill has been referred to the Committee on TRANSPORTATION for further consideration.
