Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1728 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Enable government agencies to maintain roads whose ownership and jurisdiction are in dispute between the State and the counties; and
(2) Establish necessary funding for the maintenance and repair of these roads through the authorization of an additional county surcharge on state tax.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing the provisions that establish the funding mechanism for road maintenance through the authorization of an additional county surcharge on state tax;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2214, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1728, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1728, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Water & Land.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
