This floor amendment removes the provision of the bill which would deposit revenue generated from the use of 
statutory corridors owned by the Department of Transportation into the Secondary Road Program Fund. Any such 
revenue would, under current law, be deposited into the Energy Infrastructure Benefits Fund. To date no revenue has 
been received from the use of statutory corridors.
