EXPLANATION
7
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
8
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
9
In
2016,
the
general
assembly
passed
legislation
requiring,
10
on
or
before
September
15
of
each
year,
the
county
engineer
of
11
each
county
to
certify
and
file
a
report
with
the
department
12
of
transportation
(DOT),
as
part
of
the
annual
report
required
13
under
Code
section
309.22,
detailing
the
manner
in
which
moneys
14
received
by
the
county
from
the
road
use
tax
fund
were
used
to
15
replace
or
repair
structurally
deficient
bridges
in
the
county.
16
The
legislation
also
required,
on
or
before
February
15
of
each
17
year,
the
DOT,
in
collaboration
with
the
Iowa
county
engineers
18
association,
to
compile
the
annual
reports
into
a
cumulative
19
report
and
submit
the
cumulative
report
in
electronic
format
20
to
the
chairpersons
of
the
senate
and
house
of
representatives
21
standing
committees
on
transportation
and
the
legislative
22
services
agency.
These
provisions
are
set
to
be
repealed
23
effective
June
30,
2019.
24
This
bill
strikes
the
future
repeal
provisions.
Because
25
counties
generally
do
not
receive
moneys
directly
from
the
26
road
use
tax
fund,
the
bill
also
clarifies
that
the
reporting
27
requirements
apply
to
moneys
that
originated
from
the
road
use
28
tax
fund.
