Plain-language summary
Beta

This bill would change how Kentucky's state budget is put together by requiring the Governor to submit a separate budget recommendation specifically for the Transportation Cabinet, rather than including it with the rest of the executive branch budget. This separation would make the Transportation Cabinet's proposed funding more visible and distinct in the budget process. Who it may affect: Kentucky taxpayers and anyone who uses state roads, bridges, or other transportation infrastructure funded through the state budget.
