HJR 45 -- Transportation Revenues

Sponsor:  Yates

This proposed constitutional amendment requires that after the
first fiscal year following adoption of this provision the amount
of state revenue derived from highway users which is appropriated
to state offices and departments, except the State Highway
Patrol, will be reduced to zero.

The Department of Highways and Transportation and the Office of
Administration will be required to determine all new state
revenue derived from highway users as a result of legislative or
voter-approved measures taken after January 1, 2005, and all
projects funded from the new revenue.  The Commissioner of
Administration will be required to review all these projects and
determine if more than 80% of any project has been completed
within five years of the project's initial approval and report
the findings to the General Assembly and the Director of the
Department of Revenue.  If less than 80% of the project is
completed, collection of the new revenue attributable to the
project will cease to be collected within 60 calendar days of
notification.
