An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in general budget implementation, further providing for Department of Transportation.
SB 859 amends Pennsylvania's Fiscal Code to direct specific funding from the Motor License Fund for highway and safety projects under the Department of Transportation. It requires the Secretary of Transportation to allocate funds to two designated projects listed in the 2014 Highway Capital Budget Project Itemization Act: Project 339(12) and Project 339(22). This bill does not create new funding or tax changes but specifies how existing DOT budget resources must be used for these two named infrastructure projects. The change applies immediately upon enactment and affects only the allocation of current transportation appropriations.
