Bill Number: SB 3085
Primary Sponsor: Sen. Kouchi
Subject: Appropriations
Introduced: January 24, 2024
Final Status: Died in Committee (02/26/2025)
Companion Bill: HB 2396

Purpose and intent

SB 3085 would have authorized an appropriation from the State General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Town of Renova to carry out the "Old Highway 61 Road Rehabilitation Project." The stated intent was to provide state funding to support rehabilitation of a local roadway in the Town of Renova to improve transportation safety, durability, and local access.

Key provisions

  • Directs an appropriation from the General Fund for FY2026 to the Town of Renova specifically for the Old Highway 61 Road Rehabilitation Project.
  • The bill as provided does not include a dollar amount or detailed scope of work in the text available here (no appropriation amount or project specifics were included in the provided version content).
  • The bill passed through several committee stages in the Senate (including PSM and WAM) and was transmitted to the House with an SD1 amendment adopted in the Senate.

Who would be affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Town of Renova — municipal government and residents who use Old Highway 61.
  • Secondary beneficiaries: local contractors and construction workers if the project proceeds; regional road users benefiting from improved roadway conditions.
  • State budget: would reduce the State General Fund by the appropriation amount (amount not specified in the available materials).

Legislative history and timeline

  • Introduced and passed First Reading in the Senate on 01/24/2024.
  • Referred to PSM (Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs) and WAM (Ways and Means). PSM recommended passage with amendments (02/09/2024); WAM recommended passage (02/28/2024).
  • Senate passed Third Reading in amended form (SD1) on 03/05/2024 and the measure was transmitted to the House.
  • Referred to the House Appropriations Committee (02/19/2025). Final status: Died in Committee on 02/26/2025 — the bill did not become law.

Notes and implications

  • The absence of a specified appropriation amount in the provided materials limits assessment of fiscal impact.
  • Because the bill died in committee, no funding was enacted for the project under SB 3085 during the 2024–2025 legislative session.
  • Parties interested in advancing the project could reintroduce the measure (or pursue the companion HB 2396), specify the requested appropriation, and seek sponsorship and committee support in the next session.
