Title: Joint Transportation Committee, transfer of responsibility for annual report on local motor fuels excise tax revenues to Department of Revenue
Description: The Joint Transportation Committee was created to review and consider long-term strategic planning of highway construction and highway development in the state and to prepare and review certain reports regarding the Department of Transportation. Currently the Department of Transportation collects and submits to the Joint Transportation Committee a report that details the total amount of local motor fuel excise tax revenues collected by counties or cities for the immediately preceding fiscal year and the total amount of the revenues expended on road and bridge maintenance and improvement during that same fiscal year.
This bill would transfer that responsibility of creating the report from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Revenue. This bill would also transfer the responsibility for the annual performance report on the Department of Transportation in terms of highway construction, maintenance, and costs of the same from the Joint Transportation Committee to the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts.
