Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2013 General Session
HB0377 - Transportation Funding Modifications
State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
To complete the identified $335,750,000 projects in this bill, it is estimated to cost $45,750,000 from the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 and the issuance of $290,000,000 of General Obligation Bonds. Bonding authority was previously authorized by Title 63B-18-401 and is amended in this bill, which is backed by the faith and credit of the State, for transit projects, construction of state and local highways, and loan funds.
Assuming all of the bonds are issued in FY 2014, with a standard fifteen year repayment period and flattened payments at today�s rates, debt service will require approximately $22,981,000 per year with the first year interest cost of $4,252,000. Actual debt service will vary according to interest rates at the time of issuance, the structure of the bonds, and number of issuances.
The bill also requires a one-time FY 2014 transfer of $14,250,000 from the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 to the County of the First Class State Highway Projects Fund.
