An Act Concerning Funding And Oversight Of Transportation Matters

LD 1804 establishes a joint standing committee on transportation to oversee all Highway Fund allocations, including subdivisions and transfers, requiring it to review financial orders and meet monthly. It mandates the State Budget Officer to adjust Highway Fund funding levels every two years starting in 2030-31 based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill also amends the Department of Transportation’s authority to develop rules for transportation infrastructure and administration. These changes directly affect the committee, the Department of Transportation, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the State Budget Officer.
