Upon voter approval, this proposed Constitutional amendment would distribute funds from certain state license fee increases, if such fees are periodically adjusted for inflation by general law, with 10% to the Farm to Market Fund, 10% to the Port Development Fund, 10% to the State Road Bond Fund, 3% to the State Highway Patrol, and 67% to the existing State Road Fund. Only the increase in fees would be subject to this new distribution pattern such that 33% of the increase in fees would not go directly to the road fund. The increase in fees must pass prior to January 1, 2022.
This bill is the same as HJR 17 (2019).
