begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the fiscal biennium 2019-2021 for the operating expenses of the Highways Division of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

DOT testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the amounts appropriated from special funds (B funds) for TRN 595/DB from $44,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2019-2020 (FY20) and $58,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2020-2021 (FY21) to $35,000,000 and $49,000,000 respectively.

Your Committee notes DOT's recommendation that this measure not include the following non-recurring costs:

(1) For TRN 595/DB – Highway Administration:

(A) $11,500,000 in general funds (A funds) for the Special Maintenance Program;

(B) $70,943,000 in B funds for the Special Maintenance Program; and
