What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill decreases the amount of state moneys appropriated to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for state highway rehabilitation, major highway development, and southeast freeway megaprojects and increases the amount of state moneys appropriated to DOT for local transportation facility improvement. This bill requires the Legislative Fiscal Bureau to adjust the amounts of federal moneys appropriated for these programs such that the combined amount of state and federal moneys in each program remains unchanged. This bill also prohibits DOT from entering into new contracts after June 30, 2016, that would obligate federal moneys for local transportation facility improvement.
