What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current federal law, if a state does not have a qualifying safety belt
statute, as a penalty certain federal highway moneys distributed to the state may be
transferred from, generally, highway construction funding to highway safety
funding. Currently, the Department of Transportation must annually prepare a plan
to use, for purposes of state and local emergency medical services, at least 25 percent
of the federal funds that would be transferred under this federal penalty provision
were it to be applied to the state. Current law also requires DOT to consult with the
Council on Highway Safety, the Department of Health Services, and the Emergency
Medical Services Board before preparing the plan.
Under this bill, DOT must prepare the plan only in years in which DOT expects
that federal funds distributed to the state will be transferred under the penalty
provision and DOT is not required to consult with the Council on Highway Safety
before preparing the plan.
