Maddy summarySB 67 creates a permanent "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" in Oklahoma's state treasury to dedicate road and bridge funding. The bill mandates specific annual funding amounts starting at $80 million for fiscal year 2022, increasing steadily to $1 billion annually by fiscal year 2033. These funds - redirected from the General Revenue Fund - must be used by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for road and bridge projects, including debt payments for existing transportation bonds. The legislation modifies how these funds are calculated and apportioned across fiscal years to ensure consistent, long-term investment in infrastructure.
