Senate Committee on Transportation

House Committee on Transportation

Background:  Current law permits counties to utilize day labor to construct or improve county roads, if such costs total no more than the annual limits specified by statute.  These annual limits are either a percentage of the total annual county road construction budget or a specific dollar amount.  The percentage and the dollar amount allowed varies depending on the total annual county road construction budget.

Summary:  Existing county day labor annual limits may be increased by 10 percent for construction or improvement of county roads in counties with a population of less than 50,000 people.  Budget threshold limits are clarified.
