Appropriates unexpended funds from "New Jersey Bridge Rehabilitation and Improvement and Railroad Right-of-way Preservation Bond Act of 1989."
This bill reappropriates unspent funds from New Jersey's 1989 Bridge Rehabilitation Bond Act to the Department of Transportation. It directs these funds toward emergency repairs for bridges on state highways and county/municipal roads, with the Commissioner of Transportation deciding where and when to allocate them. Any unspent funds must be used within two years or redistributed to counties based on a formula for bridge maintenance. The bill does not create new funding but redirects existing leftover money from a decades-old bond program.
