What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation administers a

transportation facilities economic assistance and development program (TEA). As

part of an economic development project under TEA, DOT may improve a highway,

airport, or harbor, or provide other assistance for the improvement of such

transportation facilities or certain rail property or railroad tracks. DOT may also

make loans for the improvement of any of these transportation facilities. The state

share of costs for the improvement of any transportation facility (grant ceiling) may

generally not exceed the lesser of 50 percent of the cost of the improvement or $5,000

for each job resulting from the improvement or the economic development project.

This bill specifies that both jobs created and jobs retained resulting from the

improvement or economic development project may be used in setting the grant

ceiling.
