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 administers a general transportation aids program that makes transportation aid payments to counties based on a share–of–costs formula, and to municipalities based on the greater of a share–of–costs formula or an aid rate per mile. Under the program, counties and municipalities are required to submit an annual statement of costs to the Department of Revenue. If a county or municipality fails to file the necessary documentation by the specified deadline, but does provide the documentation within 30 days after the deadline, the amount of aid payable to that county or municipality for the following year is reduced by 1 percent for each day late, up to a maximum 10 percent reduction. If a county or municipality fails to file the necessary documentation within 30 days of the deadline, the amount of aid payable to that county or municipality for the following year is reduced by 10 percent.
Under this bill, if a town fails to file the necessary documentation by the specified deadline, but does provide the documentation within 30 days after the deadline, the amount of aid payable to a town may not be reduced by more than $100 for each day that the necessary documentation is late.
