BILL NUMBER:S4056 TITLE OF BILL: An act to repeal section 271 of the highway law relating to limitations on amounts to be raised for the repair and improvement of highways by tax levy upon the vote of a town board PURPOSE GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Repeals the annual cap on the amount of tax dollars that municipalities can spend on equipment for the improvement of highways.

JUSTIFICATION: In 1936, the State enacted a law which set annual caps on the amount of money a town could raise in taxes to spend on repair and improvement projects of highways and the equipment needed for such repairs include plows, power rollers, concrete mixers and machines for grading and scraping roads. While the tax levy was a sufficient base to cover the costs of the equipment in the years following this law's enactment, the current law hampers the town's ability to provide necessary services. Equipment needed for improvements inevitably costs substantially more
