The state would direct earlier community project money to the named groups for the listed work. Only the groups and projects named in the provision are covered. The money comes from community project funds set aside under earlier laws.

The Transportation Department could make one-time repayments from community transportation money to named recipients for listed projects. Only the towns, agencies, and other groups named in the provision are covered. Each recipient could receive no more than its listed amount for its listed project.

The fee is capped at $500 a year for the first whole unit, with $25 a year for each additional unit, up to 300 units.
