The 'rubberized asphalt fund' is created in the state treasury. Money in the fund is appropriated to the department of transportation to pay additional expenses that might result from using rubberized asphalt paving mixes, to allocate at least fifty percent of the fund to local governments for that purpose and to carry out the provisions of the rubberized asphalt program, including hiring a term employee to administer the program. Disbursements from the fund shall be by warrant drawn by the secretary of finance and administration pursuant to vouchers signed by the secretary of transportation or the secretary's designee. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining in the rubberized asphalt fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund. History: Laws 2005, ch. 171, § 20.
