  1  1    Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  307.46  USE OF REVERSIONS.
  1  2    1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8.33 or any
  1  3 other provision of law to the contrary, if on June 30 of a
  1  4 fiscal year a balance of an operational appropriation remains
  1  5 unexpended or unencumbered, not more than fifty percent of the
  1  6 balance may be encumbered by the department and used as
  1  7 provided in this section and the remaining balance shall be
  1  8 deposited in the fund from which the money was appropriated.
  1  9 Moneys encumbered under this section shall be used by the
  1 10 department during the succeeding fiscal year for employee
  1 11 training and for technology enhancement.  Moneys which are
  1 12 encumbered under this section but not used shall revert to the
  1 13 fund from which the money was appropriated on June 30 of the
  1 14 succeeding fiscal year.
  1 15    2.  On or before June 30 of the fiscal year following the
  1 16 fiscal year in which funds were encumbered under this section,
  1 17 the department shall report to the joint transportation,
  1 18 infrastructure, and capitals appropriations subcommittee, the
  1 19 legislative fiscal bureau, the department of management, and
  1 20 the legislative fiscal committee of the legislative council
  1 21 detailing how the moneys were expended.  Moneys shall not be
  1 22 encumbered under this section from an appropriation which
  1 23 received a transfer from another appropriation pursuant to
  1 24 section 8.39.
  1 25    3.  For purposes of this section, "operational
  1 26 appropriation" means an appropriation from the road use tax
  1 27 fund or primary road fund providing for salaries, support,
  1 28 maintenance, and miscellaneous purposes.
  1 29    Sec. 2.  Section 312.2, subsection 19, Code 1999, is
  1 30 amended to read as follows:
  1 31    19.  The treasurer of state, before making the allotments
  1 32 provided for in this section, shall credit annually from the
  1 33 road use tax fund to the state department of transportation
  1 34 the sum of six hundred fifty thousand dollars for the purpose
  1 35 of providing county treasurers with data processing equipment
  2  1 and support for vehicle registration and titling, and the sum
  2  2 of three hundred eight thousand dollars for costs associated
  2  3 with the county issuance of driver's licenses.
  2  4 Notwithstanding section 8.33, unobligated funds credited under
  2  5 this subsection remaining on June 30 of the fiscal year shall
  2  6 not revert but shall remain available for expenditure for
  2  7 purposes of this subsection in subsequent fiscal years.
  2  8    Sec. 3.  Sections 309.42 and 309.56, Code 1999, are
  2  9 repealed.
  2 10    Sec. 4.  REVERSION OF GRANT FUNDING.  Notwithstanding
  2 11 section 8.33 and 1994 Iowa Acts, chapter 1199, section 8, the
  2 12 funds transferred to the railway finance authority for a
  2 13 community assistance grant in 1994 Iowa Act, chapter 1199,
  2 14 section 8, subsection 7, shall not revert, but shall be
  2 15 transferred to the railroad revolving loan fund established in
  2 16 section 327H.20A.
  2 17    Sec. 5.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  Section 1 of this Act, being
  2 18 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  2 19                           EXPLANATION 
  2 20    This bill relates to the administration of the state
  2 21 department of transportation.  It authorizes the department to
  2 22 encumber up to 50 percent of unused operational appropriations
  2 23 to the department from the road use tax fund and the primary
  2 24 road fund.  The funds are to be used by the department during
  2 25 the succeeding fiscal year for employee training and
  2 26 technology enhancement.  Any of the funds not used at the end
  2 27 of that fiscal year for such training and technology will
  2 28 revert to the fund from which the moneys was appropriated.
  2 29    This bill establishes a standing limited appropriation from
  2 30 the road use tax fund to support the county issuance of
  2 31 driver's licenses and eliminates the requirement that the
  2 32 department review plans and subsequent contracts for road,
  2 33 bridge, and culvert construction on secondary roads.
  2 34    This bill also specifies that money transferred from
  2 35 lottery revenues to the railway finance authority for a
  3  1 community assistance grant in 1994 Iowa Acts, chapter 1199,
  3  2 shall not revert, but shall be transferred to the railroad
  3  3 revolving loan fund.
