Repeals SL 2016-94, Section 35.12(b) (preventing the scoring, reprioritization, or funding of light rail projects until Prioritization 5.0 process).
Amends GS 136-189.10 to delete text that clarifies that the statute does not authorize total State funding in excess of the maximum established elsewhere for commuter rail and light rail projects.
Deletes text restricting total state funding for a commuter rail or light rail project from exceeding 10% of the estimated total project costs used during the prioritization scoring process, protecting the State from liability for project costs in excess of the maximum established here, and requiring state funding agreements for commuter or light rail projects to include language setting out these limitations.
