The bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance funding for municipal highway maintenance and to impose a new tax on liquid fuels. Specifically, it introduces provisions that allow counties to utilize funds from the Motor License Fund for the construction and maintenance of bridges owned by municipalities within the county. This is established through the addition of new language in Section 9301(b) and Section 9502(a)(2), which permits the use of allocated funds for these specific purposes.

The bill appropriates $5,000,000 annually from the Motor License Fund to counties starting July 1, 2014, and imposes an additional 55 mills tax on liquid fuels, with proceeds designated for highway maintenance and construction. The new provisions ensure that counties have the flexibility to address bridge maintenance needs, thereby improving infrastructure at the municipal level. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later.
