This bill appropriates a total of $50 million from the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, specifically for the reconstruction of county roads and bridges classified as Major Collector routes. The funds are divided into two sections, each allocating $25 million to the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges Fund. The projects proposed by counties will be evaluated and prioritized by the Department of Transportation based on various criteria, including project innovation, structural adequacy, safety, and the financial participation of the counties.

Additionally, the bill establishes specific evaluation criteria for both road and bridge projects, emphasizing factors such as readiness, serviceability, and public use essentiality. The legislation also mandates that any approved projects awarded by the Transportation Commission must be contracted in accordance with existing laws. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
