HJR 46 Kentucky House · 2025 Regular Session

A JOINT RESOLUTION relating to road projects and declaring an emergency.

HJR 46 designates specific road projects as "County Priority Projects" under Kentucky's Six-Year Road Plan, directly affecting counties receiving these funded projects. It establishes the priority list by overriding certain existing statutes (KRS 48.100, 48.110, etc.) and incorporating three 2024 Kentucky Acts. The resolution creates the official framework for allocating road funding, specifying which projects advance first in the state's six-year infrastructure plan. This procedural resolution does not create new funding but determines the order of project implementation.
