5/1/06-A bill has died that would have changed the state transportation fund from a certified fund to a revolving fund.
Oklahoma law now restricts 95 percent of a certified fund to be appropriated.
Sponsored by Sen. Daisy Lawler, D-Comanche, SB1029 would turn the fund into a revolving fund, which would allow all road and bridge dollars available to be spent on maintenance and repair.
The bill won approval in the House Appropriations and Budget Committee but it did not receive a hearing on the House floor prior to the April 27 deadline. The Senate passed it in March.
