An Act to modernize and enhance the distribution of Chapter 90 funds

This bill (SD 1976) updates how Massachusetts allocates Chapter 90 funds for municipal road and bridge projects. It directs the commissioner to distribute funds based on specific resurfacing percentages: 2% of non-state roads and 3.3% of state-numbered routes in each municipality. The bill also changes how the Municipal Match Program calculates local matching requirements, using equal weight for property values and personal income, with a 12.5% minimum and 200% maximum match limit. These changes directly affect all municipalities receiving Chapter 90 funding for road maintenance and improvements.
