by Senator Brodeur
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Appropriations Committee (AP)
This bill conforms statutes to funding decisions related to Fuel Taxes in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The bill revises the distribution of “fuel sales tax” proceeds which increases revenues into the following trust funds by the following amounts:
• Agricultural Emergency Eradication Trust Fund within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services by $8.6 million.
• Marine Resources Conservation Trust Fund within the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission by $10.7 million.
• State Game Trust Fund within the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission by $1.7 million.
• Invasive Plant Trust Fund within the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission by $4.2 million.
By increasing the distributions into those trust funds, there is less remaining to deposit into the State Transportation Trust Fund.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor's signature, these provisions take effect on July 1, 2026.
Vote: Senate 36-0; House 106-0
