Text

The General Assembly finds that the purpose of this legislation is to create the authority for units of local government to adopt and implement road improvement impact fee ordinances and resolutions. The General Assembly further recognizes that the imposition of such road improvement impact fees is designed to supplement other funding sources so that the burden of paying for road improvements can be allocated in a fair and equitable manner. It is the intent of the General Assembly to promote orderly economic growth throughout the State by assuring that new development bears its fair share of the cost of meeting the demand for road improvements through the imposition of road improvement impact fees. It is also the intent of the General Assembly to preserve the authority of elected local government officials to adopt and implement road improvement impact fee ordinances or resolutions which adhere to the minimum standards and procedures adopted in this Division by the State.
