Rebalancing statutory fund transfers and revenue dedications for transportation.
Senate Bill 5802 rebalances how state funds are transferred to support transportation and public works projects. The bill amends existing laws to modify the amounts and durations of transfers from the state's general fund and the public works assistance account. Specifically, it adjusts financial contributions to the connecting Washington account, the move ahead WA flexible account, and the Tacoma Narrows toll bridge account. These changes generally reduce or shorten the periods for these transfers, directly affecting the financial allocations for various state transportation initiatives.

These changes ensure the bill is properly certified for the legislative record and explicitly define the source of funds for the transportation account.

Clarified in Section 3 that the state collects the taxes designated for the multimodal transportation account.
