STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS08045Cl
The purpose of this Legislation is to place on the November 3, 1998, General
Election Ballot an advisory question regarding a proposal to address 28 Idaho
Transportation Department highway construction projects which are currently
unfunded, and for which the ITD has no well defined plan for completion. ITD
creates a "Five Year Program" or schedule, and it also creates a project list of
major unfunded projects. The 28 projects listed represent the majority of the
significant unscheduled projects on highways 20, 30, 55, 93, and 95. Completion
of these, as well as programmed projects, will significantly enhance statewide
access, help to lower highway fatality rates, and insure economic vitality of this
state.
SECTION 1 - Creates a "specified highway construction project list" composed
of major projects which have no anticipated funding by ITD.
SECTION 2 - Creates a "specified highway projects construction fund" which is
a new account restricted to the projects listed in section 1.
SECTION 3 - Raises annual registration fees only on 1991 or newer vehicles
under 8,000 GVW and restores five registration levels; additional fees are
directed to the Specified Highway Fund.
SECTION 6 - Raises annual registration fees on vehicles over 8,000 GVW;
additional fees are directed to the Specified Highway Fund.
SECTIONS 4,5,7, 8 & 10 - Sunset clause language, January 1, 2011.
SECTION 9 - Effective date for sections 1,2,3&6 which would be dependent upon
Fifty-Fifth Idaho Legislature.
SECTION 11 - Declaratory language and ballot "Question".
