HB 2969: Bridge owner requirements

Requiring local bridge owners to maintain, replace, or appropriate funds for bridges deemed to be especially deficient.

Summary

  • Requires cities and counties that own bridges with low sufficiency ratings to, within six months of the most recent sufficiency rating report, either begin construction to rehabilitate the bridge or adopt a finance plan to fully fund the rehabilitation or replacement of the bridge.
  • Directs the Washington State Department of Transportation (Department) to report annually on the status of each locally-owned bridge that has a low sufficiency rating, including a statement of whether each city or county is in compliance with the rehabilitation or finance plan requirements.
  • Directs the State Treasurer to, upon receipt of a report of non-compliance from the Department, withhold a portion of state motor vehicle fuel taxes to which the non-compliant city or county would otherwise be entitled.
