SECTION 341-A
Repayment to state of moneys advanced to counties for the construction of county highways
Highway (HAY) CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE 12
§ 341-a. Repayment to state of moneys advanced to counties for the
construction of county highways. Wherever a county highway has been
constructed at the joint expense of the state and county and the state
has paid the entire cost of construction, including the share of the
county, the board of supervisors of the county in which such a county
highway has been constructed and the county's share of the expense
advanced by the state, may, by resolution, provide for the payment to
the state of its share of the cost so advanced, and appropriate and make
immediately available an amount sufficient to pay the same. The clerk of
the board of supervisors shall transmit certified copies of such
resolution to the commissioner of transportation and state comptroller.
In case there is due to the county a sum of money from any town located
therein, the town board of the town is also authorized to appropriate
its share of the cost and pay the same to the county treasurer of the
county.

All moneys paid to the state pursuant to the provisions of this
section shall be deposited by the comptroller with the department of
taxation and finance to the credit of the highway improvement fund, from
which fund the said moneys so advanced to said counties were originally
taken, and may be expended for the construction of state highways in any
county or counties designated by the commissioner of transportation. The
term "county highway" shall mean any highway constructed at the joint
expense of the state and county classified or referred to as a county
highway under former provisions of this chapter.
