What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) administers a general transportation aids program that makes aid payments to a county based on a share-of-costs formula, and to a village, city, or town (municipality) based on the greater of a share-of-costs formula for municipalities or an aid rate per mile. Each municipality and county must annually file with DOT a certified plat of the municipality or county showing the highways under its jurisdiction and the mileage of these highways open and used for travel, unless there have been no changes since the last time the municipality or county filed a plat with DOT. One-half of the mileage of highways on boundary lines must be considered as lying in each municipality or county. DOT may use these plats in making computations of transportation aids.
This bill allows two municipalities to agree that any highway on a boundary line between the two municipalities is under the jurisdiction of only one of the municipalities for purposes of general transportation aid payments. If such an agreement is made, the certified plats filed by the two municipalities must reflect this agreement in showing the highways under their jurisdiction and the mileage of those highways, and the municipality claiming jurisdiction of the highway is entitled to claim the entire mileage of the highway on its certified plat.
