N.Y. Highway Law § 341-a: Repayment to state of moneys advanced to counties for the construction of county highways

§ 341-a. Repayment to state of moneys advanced to counties for the

construction of county highways. Wherever a county highway has been

constructed at the joint expense of the state and county and the state

has paid the entire cost of construction, including the share of the

county, the board of supervisors of the county in which such a county

highway has been constructed and the county's share of the expense

advanced by the state, may, by resolution, provide for the payment to

the state of its share of the cost so advanced, and appropriate and make

immediately available an amount sufficient to pay the same. The clerk of

the board of supervisors shall transmit certified copies of such

resolution to the commissioner of transportation and state comptroller.

In case there is due to the county a sum of money from any town located

therein, the town board of the town is also authorized to appropriate

its share of the cost and pay the same to the county treasurer of the

county.

All moneys paid to the state pursuant to the provisions of this

section shall be deposited by the comptroller with the department of

taxation and finance to the credit of the highway improvement fund, from

which fund the said moneys so advanced to said counties were originally

taken, and may be expended for the construction of state highways in any

county or counties designated by the commissioner of transportation. The

term "county highway" shall mean any highway constructed at the joint

expense of the state and county classified or referred to as a county

highway under former provisions of this chapter.
