Overview

Purpose and Intent

  • To provide state General Fund support specifically for infrastructure improvements on Calhoun County’s County Road 102.
  • The objective is likely to improve road surface quality, safety, and reliability, with potential benefits for local traffic flow and economic activity.

Key Provisions (as indicated by title)

  • An FY2026 appropriation from the General Fund designated for Calhoun County.
  • Funds earmarked for paving and repairing County Road 102.
  • The exact allocation amount, conditions, and any reporting or compliance requirements are not included in the summary provided; the full text of the bill would specify those details.

Fiscal Impact

  • State impact: A General Fund expenditure for FY2026 affecting the county-level infrastructure program.
  • Local impact: Calhoun County would receive funding targeted to a specific road project (County Road 102), potentially accelerating maintenance or reconstruction.

Note: Specific dollar figures and fiscal conditions are not provided in the available information.

Affected Parties

  • Calhoun County government (board, county road department) as the recipient and administrator of the funds.
  • Contractors and suppliers involved in paving and road repair projects.
  • County residents and travelers who use County Road 102, who may experience improved road conditions if funds are disbursed and projects proceed.

Legislative History and Status

  • Introduced: February 26, 2025.
  • Legislative actions on the same date: Referred to Appropriations and subsequently listed as Died In Committee.
  • Status: The bill did not advance out of committee and therefore did not move toward floor consideration or enactment.

Process and Timeline (highlights)

  • After introduction, the bill was assigned to the Appropriations Committee.
  • It advanced to, and then effectively stalled in, committee consideration, resulting in a failed passage for the current session.

Potential Next Steps

  • For reintroduction in a future session, sponsors would need to refile the bill, secure committee approval, and obtain passage in both chambers plus gubernatorial signature.
  • If reintroduced, the bill would likely specify the exact funding amount, eligibility criteria, use restrictions, reporting requirements, and match or oversight provisions.

Summary
