SHB 1098 — Concerning county local roads.

What this bill does

Creates the county local road trust account (Account), and directs the County Road Administration Board to adopt rules regarding the allocation of funds in the Account. Establishes minimum criteria for project selection and the types of projects that can be funded from the Account. Requires counties to work with the Washington State Department of Transportation, cities, or towns on certain projects, and requires matching fund requirements to be established after further study. Limits the eligibility for Account funds to either counties with populations under 8,000 or counties that have not diverted county road levy funds to other purposes, except for certain specified expenditures. Allows for reservation of funds for future phases of approved projects, provides a limited exemption from the requirement that all Account funded projects are included in a county's six-year plan, and allows for increases to amounts allocated to projects under certain circumstances.
