Staff lists technical edits and other sections for the T bill: Green Mountain Transit, VIN language, complete streets and right-to-charge
Summary
Committee counsel listed several technical and editorial changes for the T bill including flexible funding language for Green Mountain Transit, edits to vehicle-miles sections (12–15), VIN study language, complete streets language (sections 19–20), and rescission language tied to federal appropriations.
Committee counsel and staff walked the Senate Transportation Committee through a set of technical and cleanup items proposed for inclusion or revision in the T bill.
Items flagged for drafting or editing included: deleting a specific funding source in Green Mountain Transit’s charter language and replacing it with a provision allowing funding “as approved by AOT”; proposed edits to sections 12–15 concerning vehicle-miles-traveled language (with staff circulating AOT-proposed edits); complete streets language in sections 19–20; VIN-number study language tied to split-rate testimony; and adding rescission language to complement existing statutory flexibility if federal appropriations are lost.
Staff also referenced S.75 (the Kurtz bill items) related to a right-to-charge provision for common-interest communities and said they would follow up on existing law for such communities. Counsel said he would circulate formatted language for sections 12–15 to Senator White and AOT after drafting in the committee’s format.
Ending: Staff will work AOT-proposed edits into committee format, circulate those edits to relevant senators and agencies, and flag any inconsistencies for next week’s meeting.
