| This bill proposes to increase local road assistance funds to |
| towns for use in special erosion control projects on town roads |
| located in lake watershed areas. These additional funds would be |
| provided to towns on a project-by-project basis and only upon |
| application by the town. The bill also proposes to consider |
| direct impacts from state aid and federal aid highways in |
| projects funded through existing highway lake protection |
| programs. |
