What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the governor to allocate $250,000,000 of the funds accepted

under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to retire public debt in the

2021-22 fiscal year.

The bill also requires the governor to allocate $250,000,000 of the funds

accepted under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the retirement of

transportation revenue bonds. Current law authorizes the Building Commission to

issue revenue bonds for major highway projects and transportation administrative

facilities in a principal amount that may not exceed $4,197,627,500.

Finally, if the retirement of public debt and transportation revenue is not

eligible for funding under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, then the bill

requires the governor to allocate the amounts specified in the bill for the financing

of building projects in the 2021-23 Authorized State Building Program in lieu of

borrowing.
