SB236

The amendment changes the fund transfer trigger from "odd-numbered" years to "third" years (beginning in 2029) and simplifies the fund's stated purposes by removing the specific mention of allocating to rural access distribution funds and paying for inventory-related expenses, instead broadening it to general distribution to counties per existing law—this NARROWS the bill's scope by making the county and township infrastructure fund more of a general holding account rather than specifying particular uses for transferred moneys.

The amendment converted the engrossed bill into its final enrolled form by removing legislative markup language and adding formal enactment signatures and certification pages. Substantively, it changed the deadline for counties to obligate or spend rural access infrastructure funds from the end of fiscal year 2029 to a triennial transfer schedule beginning June 30, 2029, redirecting unspent moneys to a new state-level county and township infrastructure fund rather than allowing reversion under existing law.
