Proposes constitutional amendment to dedicate certain revenues for State transportation system.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to dedicate specific tax revenues to New Jersey's state transportation system, directly affecting how state funds are allocated for roads, bridges, and related infrastructure. The amendment would require certain amounts from motor fuel taxes, petroleum product taxes, and sales taxes to be credited to a special account in the General Fund, with minimum dollar amounts specified for various fiscal years. Additionally, any revenue from future taxes on electric vehicles would be added to this dedicated fund, which can only be used for planning, construction, repair, and rehabilitation of the state's transportation system. The bill would also prohibit the Legislature from borrowing, appropriating, or using these dedicated funds for any purpose other than transportation improvements. This change would require voter approval at a general election to become part of the state constitution.
