Any municipal or county government can file an application with the department, as approved by the applicable County Transportation Committee, to accept into its road

Roads or road segments selected for this provision shall: not create orphans to the system; include any located within the municipal or county limits; and be grouped, if possible, to make maintenance operations more efficient. Preference shall be given to applications that seek to accept single purpose local roads and road segments that are 1/2 mile or less in length. In the aggregate, no county is eligible to receive more ‘acceptance dollars’ than they would have received under the prior formula. If at any time the ‘acceptance dollars’ are not annually remitted to the acquiring county, ownership of any segment for which the agreed upon allocation has not been fully funded, must revert back to the State. Any remaining balance of the sequestered funds shall be carried forward and expended as directed by the General Assembly./

/ 97.__. (TREAS: Accommodations Tax Withholdings) If the State Treasurer is withholding accommodations tax revenue distributions to a municipality due to an expenditure the Tourism Expenditure Review Committee determined to be in noncompliance, then the municipality or county may refund an amount equivalent to the amount determined to be in noncompliance to the appropriate fund. If the municipality or county certifies to the committee that the amount has been refunded, the State Treasurer shall no longer subject the municipality or county to future withholdings of the amount determined to be in noncompliance. After the amount determined to be in noncompliance has been refunded, the municipality or county may expend the funds for a compliant tourism - related purpose.

If the municipality or county certifies to the committee that the amount previously determined to be in noncompliance has been refunded to the appropriate fund, then any amount withheld from the municipality or county from subsequent allocations must be returned in same amount and manner that it was withheld.

The Tourism Expenditure Review Committee shall notify the municipality or county if an expenditure is found to be in noncompliance. If the committee informs the county or municipality of an expenditure determined to be in noncompliance and the county or municipality does not refund the noncompliant amount, the committee shall certify the noncompliance to the State Treasurer.

/(GP: Motor Fuel User Fee) (A) The motor vehicle user fee imposed upon gasoline, diesel and other such fuels, shall be set at twenty-six cents a gallon.

(B) The amount of the user fee shall increase or decrease by the percentage change in the wholesale price of motor fuel subject to the user fee in the applicable base period. Two base periods for calculating the percentage change in the whole sale price shall be set from July first to December thirty-first, and January first to June thirtieth within the current fiscal year. The percentage change calculations shall be determined by September thirtieth and March thirtieth, so that the adjustment percentage may be calculated for the following six-month based period. The Department of Transportation must determine the change in the average wholesale price of motor fuel for each base period. The department must use information on refiner and gas plant operator sales prices of finished motor gasoline and diesel fuel for resale, published by the United States Department of Energy in the 'Monthly Energy Review', or equivalent data. The department must use a weighted average of the results for each motor fuel based on the proportion of user fee collected to the base period. The department must then convert the weighted average price to a cents-per-gallon rate for all motor fuel and round the rate to the nearest one-tenth of a cent. If the converted cents-per-gallon rate is exactly between two-tenths of a cent, the department must round the rate up to the higher of the two.

(C) The proceeds of the user fee transferred to the "C" fund program shall be set at three and one-half cents a gallon.

(D) Donor fund distributions, as related to the collection and transfer of the portion of motor fuel user fee designated for the "C" fund program, are suspended in the current fiscal year.

(E) For tax year 2014, there is allowed a refundable income tax credit equal to twenty-six dollars for every motor vehicle registered to the taxpayer that is licensed in this State. The taxpayer only may claim the credit if there are no delinquent property taxes owed on the motor vehicle./
