Official summary
Official text — shown in English exactly as published by the official source. The official text controls.
Under current law, 28.9% of the revenue the state collects from the retail delivery fee is credited to the multimodal transportation and mitigation options fund (fund). Of the money from the retail delivery fee that is credited to the fund, currently 85% is allocated to the commission for local multimodal projects and 15% is allocated to the commission for state multimodal projects. Beginning on July 1, 2026, the act changes how the fund allocates and expends retail delivery fee revenue between state and local multimodal projects so that 70% of the fund is allocated to the commission for local multimodal projects and 30% of the fund is allocated to the commission for state multimodal projects. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026, MONEY MUST BE EXPENDED FROM THE FUND AS FOLLOWS: (A) SEVENTY PERCENT TO THE COMMISSION FOR LOCAL MULTIMODAL PROJECTS; AND (8) THIRTY PERCENT TO THE COMMISSION FOR STATE MULTIMODAL PROJECTS THAT ARE SELECTED BY THE COMMISSION.

Recipients shall provide a match equal to the amount of the award; except that the commission may create a formula for reducing or exempting the match requirement for local governments or agencies due to their size or any other special circumstances and may also, if recommended by department staff, reduce or exempt any individual recipient from the match requirement for a specific project.

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
