GRANBERG. 35 ILCS 505/8 from Ch. 120, par. 424 Amends the Motor Fuel Tax Law. Provides for expiration after fiscal year 2002 of language providing that specified amounts of moneys in the Grade Crossing Protection Fund shall be transferred to the Transportation Regulatory Fund and used to pay the cost of administration of the Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Commerce Commission) HB 4216 will result in a $2.25 million decrease in funding to ICC. This money is currently used to fund costs associated with the railroad safety program. The nearly 75% cut in funding would result in significant reductions in staff involved in the field inspection of rail crossing signals, track, rail hazar- dous material shipments, and railroad company operating prac- tices, as well as eliminating staff engaged in engineering review and approval required by law for grade crossing safety improvement projects.
