43. — (1) Beginning in the 2021-2022 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, funds that result from increased revenues to the State Transportation Trust Fund derived from the amendments to s. 320.08 made by chapter 2019-43, Laws of Florida, and deposited into the fund pursuant to s. 320.20(5)(a) must be used to fund arterial highway projects identified by the department in accordance with s. 339.65 and may be used for projects as specified in ss. 339.66 and 339.67. For purposes of the funding provided in this section, the department shall prioritize use of existing facilities or portions thereof when upgrading arterial highways to limited or controlled access facilities. However, this section does not preclude use of the funding for projects that enhance the capacity of an arterial highway. The funds allocated as provided in this section shall be in addition to any other statutory funding allocations provided by law. (2) Revenues deposited into the State Transportation Trust Fund pursuant to s. 320.20(5)(a) shall first be available for appropriation for payments under a service contract entered into with the Florida Department of Transportation Financing Corporation pursuant to s. 339.0809(4) to fund arterial highway projects. For the corporation’s bonding purposes, two or more such projects in the department’s adopted work program may be treated as a single project.
