A BILL to amend and reenact §17-16A-11 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to ensuring that funding to counties named in this section from the State Road Construction Account does not affect any other funding received by those counties from the State Road Fund.

(2) Any appropriations, grants, gifts, contributions, or other revenues received by the State Road Construction Account from any source; and
(3) All interest earned on moneys held in the account.
(c) The funds in the special revenue account created by this section will be expended by the Division of Highways for the costs of acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, improvement or repair of public highways and bridges, as contained in the Division of Highways' Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan as it existed on June 1, 2017, or the West Virginia Division of Highways SOS Transportation Investment Program Candidate Project List dated May 3, 2017, in the following counties:

(e) The Division of Highways shall conduct a study to determine any funding that may have been disputed from the effective date of this section until January 1, 2027.
