What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the revenues generated by use of the state transportation system

may be deposited into any fund as provided by law. This proposed constitutional

amendment, proposed to the 2011 legislature on first consideration, requires that

such revenues be deposited into a transportation fund, and requires the legislature

to create such a fund and a department of transportation.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
