This bill changes how Kentucky divides a portion of motor fuel tax revenue between county and city road funds. Currently, when that revenue exceeds $775 million in a fiscal year, counties receive 18.3% and cities receive 7.7% of the excess; this bill would give each an equal 13% share instead. The change shifts more of that extra funding toward cities and away from counties. Who it may affect: county governments, city governments, and residents who rely on local roads, streets, and bridges maintained with these funds.
