Committee rolls SB 2,372 legacy‑earnings language into DOT budget and recommends do‑not‑pass
Summary
Senate Bill 2,372, which would have increased the percent of legacy earnings directed to highway distributions, was rolled into the DOT budget (SB 20‑12); the Appropriations Committee moved a do‑not‑pass on SB 2,372 because its provisions were incorporated into the budget bill.
The Appropriations Committee voted to recommend a do‑not‑pass on Senate Bill 2,372 after committee sponsors incorporated the bill’s Legacy Earnings Fund language into the Department of Transportation budget (SB 20‑12).
Sponsor remarks stated SB 2,372’s only substantive difference from the budget amendment was the destination of the funds: the original bill would have deposited the additional percent into the Legacy Earnings Highway distribution fund, while the budget redirects the increment into the flexible transportation fund. Because the language was rolled into SB 20‑12, committee sponsors moved and the committee approved a do‑not‑pass recommendation for SB 2,372 so the change would advance as part of the budget bill instead.
Committee recorded the do‑not‑pass recommendation as approved on a recorded vote (committee tally recorded as 16 in favor of do‑not‑pass).
