The amendment removes a decades-old requirement that counties pay municipalities an amount equal to the road levy distributions from 1984-1986 for bridge and street purposes, effectively eliminating ongoing financial obligations to municipalities based on those historical levy amounts. This WEAKENS the bill's original purpose by completely eliminating the municipal road funding mechanism rather than merely removing the specific requirement as the title suggests.
