Under existing law, the proceeds of the four-cent excise tax on gasoline and lubricating oil are used by the Department of Transportation for the construction and maintenance of public roads and bridges on the state highway system; by counties for the resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation of paved county roads and bridges or bridge replacement on the county road system; and by municipalities for the resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation of roads, bridges, and streets within the municipality.
This bill would allow the proceeds of the four-cent excise tax on gasoline and lubricating oil distributed to counties to be used for vegetation management on the rights-of-way of county roads.
This bill would also clarify the uses for the four-cent excise tax and repeal an obsolete section of the Code of Alabama 1975.
