IL SB1680

General Assembly shall annually appropriate $15,000,000 to the Department of Transportation from road fund, general revenue fund, or other state funds for county apportionment to road districts for bridge construction of 20 feet or more in length.

Road districts must levy taxes for road and bridge purposes under Section 8 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law to be eligible for expenditure of apportioned funds.

Apportioned funds not obligated within 48 months lapse and are not paid to county treasurers; funds obligated within 4 years are paid upon Department certification.

Funds reverting to the Road Fund become lapse pool funds to provide additional monetary assistance to township road districts with insufficient funding for bridge construction of 20 feet or more, subject to local contribution requirements.

Department of Transportation shall adopt rules to implement the lapse pool fund provisions for township road districts.
