An Act To Make Allocations From Maine Turnpike Authority Funds For The Maine Turnpike Authority For The Calendar Year Ending December 31, 2027

This bill directs how the Maine Turnpike Authority should spend its gross revenues for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, by allocating specific dollar amounts to various operational categories such as administration, highway maintenance, fare collection, and public safety. The legislation establishes a budget schedule that breaks down spending into personal services and other costs for each category, totaling approximately $63.9 million in authorized funds. It also allows the authority to transfer money between budget categories before the fiscal year ends, provided certain reporting requirements are met, and permits carrying over unspent funds to the next year. Additionally, the bill includes a statement showing how much revenue is needed to cover debt payments and maintain financial reserves for the turnpike's bond obligations.
