Requires the Governor to notify the Legislature by January 10 of the year in which a suspension is intended, and allows the Governor to make the suspension determination by proclamation no sooner than 30 days after notification.

Requires the Department of Finance to submit to the Legislature by January 10 a proposal to maintain the same level of transportation funding that would have been generated if the scheduled adjustment had not been suspended.
