Senator Baumgardner introduced and discussed Bill 4. This bill requires the state Transportation Commission to submit a ballot question to voters in 2017 for approval of $3.5 billion in Transportation Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs) once existing transportation bonds have been repaid. The maximum repayment cost cannot exceed $5.5 billion or take longer than 20 years to repay. TRANs proceeds must be spent on a list of 42 transportation projects across the state described in the bill. The bill also eliminates the final three years of Senate Bill 09-228 transfers and diverts 5 percent of state sales tax revenue to the Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF) and 1 percent of state sales tax revenue to the Capital Construction Fund (CCF).
