HB 2772: Roads and bridges; Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driving Safety Fund; increasing apportionment; utilization; weigh stations; effective date; emergency.

HB 2772 creates the "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" to provide dedicated state funding for transportation infrastructure. It mandates annual apportionments totaling $575 million for fiscal year 2021, increasing to $610 million annually starting in 2025, with $80 million allocated each year specifically for debt payments on transportation bonds before other uses. The fund must be used exclusively for constructing/maintaining state roads, bridges, highways, and related infrastructure - prohibited from replacing existing transportation funding - and requires annual oversight by the State Board of Equalization to prevent fund "supplanting." Additional smaller allocations ($2 million for the Heartland Flyer rail project and $3 million for public transit) are also specified within the funding structure. The bill became law on May 29, 2025, without the Governor's signature.
