Section 72 Municipal TNC Appropriation Flexibility 2

Said section 8 of said chapter 187 is hereby further amended by striking out subsection (d) and inserting in place thereof the following subsection:-

(d) (i) By December 31 of each year in which a city or town receives a disbursement of more than $25,000 from the Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund, that city or town shall submit a report to the director of the division that details the projects and the amount used or planned to be used for transportation-related projects as described in subsection (c).
(ii) By December 31 of the year in which a city or town receives a cumulative total of more than $25,000 in disbursements from the Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund since its last report to director of the division, that city or town shall submit a report to the director of the division that details the projects and the amount used or planned to be used for transportation-related projects as described in subsection (c) for each disbursement from Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund since the city or town's last report to the director of the division.
(iii) For a city or town whose cumulative total disbursements from the Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund have not exceeded $25,000 in the five years since its last report to the director of the division, that city or town shall submit a report to the director of the division by December 31 of the fifth year since its last report to the director of the division. That report shall detail the projects and the amount used or planned to be used for transportation-related projects as described in subsection (c) for each annual disbursement from Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund since the city or town's last report to the director of the division.
(iv) The division shall withhold future disbursements from the Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund from any city or town that does not comply with the reporting requirements of this subsection (d). The withheld funds shall be disbursed when the city or town complies with the requirements of this subsection (d).
(v) On an annual basis, the director shall compile the reports and post the projects and amounts of money used on the website of the division.

This section, along with two others, adjusts the requirements for municipalities that receive per ride assessment amounts of less than $25,000 based on the number of rides in that municipality to give flexibility to those municipalities to spend the limited sums without further appropriation.
