Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.1-23.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.1-23.2. Allocation of construction funds for primary system and interstate match.
A. The Commonwealth Transportation Board shall allocate such
funds as are available under § 33.1-23.1 B 1 to the primary system of state
highways, including the arterial network, for construction and shall apportion
such funds among the nine construction districts so that each construction
district shall be allocated a share of such funds equal to the proportion that
such construction district bears to the Commonwealth as a whole in terms of: the
ratio of vehicle-miles traveled on the primary system,
divided
by the primary road lane mileage in each construction
district, weighted 90%, and a primary road need factor which
adjusts the weights in the allocation formula for the construction district
with the largest under-allocation relative to primary needs, with vehicle-miles
traveled weighted seventy percent, primary road lane mileage weighted
twenty-five percent, and the primary road need factor weighted five percent.
B. Out of each district's total allocation of primary funds
pursuant to paragraph 1 of subsection B of § 33.1-23.1, the Board shall
allocate all needed interstate federal-aid matching funds, up to a maximum of twenty-five percent 25%
of the district's primary allocation. Any additional interstate federal-aid
matching funds needed in a district shall be allocated by the Board from the
Interstate Federal-Aid Matching Fund established in § 33.1-23.1:2.
C. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, the Board may provide for exceptionally heavy expenditures for repairs or replacements made necessary by highway damage resulting from accidents, severe weather conditions, acts of God or vandalism.
D. Such funds allocated to the primary system shall, as far as possible, be allotted prior to the commencement of the fiscal year and public announcement made of such allotment but the Board shall not approve such allotment until after a public hearing at which political subdivisions of the Commonwealth and interested citizens may be heard.
In any case where any allotment of funds is made under this subsection to any county, all or a part of which subsequently is incorporated as or into a city or town, such allocation shall not be impaired thereby and the funds so allocated shall be expended as if such county or any part thereof had never become an incorporated city, but that portion of such city shall not be eligible to receive funds as a city during the same year it receives the funds allocated as a county or as any part of a county.
