Upon voter approval, this proposed Constitutional amendment requires that 1% of the net proceeds of the fuel tax be distributed to counties based on the number of acres of property assessed as agricultural property. In addition the amendment specifies that the State Road Fund be subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, rather than standing appropriated without legislative action. Additionally, the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan must be used to establish priorities for project and program funding for the Department of Transportation.
This bill is similar to HJR 127 (2024).
