Statement of Purpose
RS 09009
The purpose of this legislation is to change the funding
mechanism for the Local Technical Assistance Council
(LHTAC). The current funding for the LHTAC consist of a
payment of two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($250,000.00) from the locals share of the Highway Users
Account. This legislation changes the fixed dollar amount
to three hundred twenty-six thousands of one percent
(0.326%) of the account.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no impact on the General Fund. The change
would impact the locals share of the Highway Distribution
Account of ninety four thousand four hundred forty five
dollars and twenty cents ($94,445.20).
