	Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement for Original Bill
	Sponsor: Rep. Verow of Brewer
	Committee: Transportation
	Fiscal Note Required: Yes
Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Potential current biennium revenue decrease - Federal Expenditure Funds
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	If this bill is enacted, the Department of Transportation (DOT) may be required to reimburse the federal government for the $2,205,277 in federal funds spent on the project. This repayment would be accomplished by reducing monthly reimbursements from the federal government for other authorized projects. DOT may then be able to re-obligate this funding to another federally approved project as long as the re-obligation occurs within the same federal fiscal year. The result would be an extended period of time for the $2.2 million to be reimbursed to the Highway Fund.
