 16 12 and provide a written report to the joint appropriations
 16 13 subcommittee on transportation, infrastructure and capitals by
 16 14 January 15, 1996.
 16 15    The bill provides for nonreversion during the fiscal year
 16 16 beginning July 1, 1995, for moneys appropriated in 1994 Iowa
 16 17 Acts from the primary road fund to the state department of
 16 18 transportation for the purchase of certain property and the
 16 19 renovation of the buildings located on the property.
 16 20    The bill requests the state department of transportation to
 16 21 consider as a priority for inclusion in the state five-year
 16 22 transportation plan the preparation of planning studies for
 16 23 development of highway bypass projects that promote the safe
 16 24 flow of traffic and economic development in the project areas.
