Bill summary
Senate committee substitute to the 3rd edition makes the following changes.
Section 4.8A
Adds a new section requiring eligible municipalities to use the net proceeds distributed in Section 4.8 of the act to supplement and not supplant or replace existing local expenditures (as defined) for roadway systems. Requires eligible municipalities to, at least, maintain local expenditures for roadway systems at a level meeting or exceeding the average level of local expenditures for roadway systems by the municipality during the 10 fiscal years beginning with the 2014-15 fiscal year and ending with the 2023-24 fiscal year.
Section 9.2
Removes the provision that provided that the section does not limit Charlotte’s ability to provide local funding for a project that (1) is eligible for State funding under GS 136-189.11 and (2) is not a highway project. Removes the provision concerning the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) revision of highway project selection ratings for Charlotte, and now instead provides that DOT must not revise highway project selection ratings as provided in GS 136-189.11 based on local funding participation by Charlotte, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville.
