AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE LOCAL BRIDGE PROGRAM.

HB 5119 allocates $30 million from the General Fund to the Department of Transportation for the local bridge program over fiscal years ending June 2026, 2027, and each subsequent year. This funding directly supports local bridge repair and maintenance projects across the state, as defined under existing law (Section 13a-175q of the general statutes). The bill increases available resources for the program without altering its core structure or eligibility rules.
