An Act to rehabilitate regional roadways

This bill (HD 1640) is a technical amendment to an existing law (Section 50 of Chapter 6C of the General Laws) that governs roadway funding. It adds a specific provision allowing state funds to be used for "rehabilitation and improvement of corridors on which regional economic activity generates significant truck traffic." The bill does not create new funding or programs; it simply updates the legal language to explicitly include this type of roadway project under eligible uses of existing funds. This is a procedural change affecting how current roadway funds may be allocated, not a new policy.
