Kentucky HB622 establishes a pilot project to evaluate chip seal on county gravel roads and declares an emergency.

Kentucky HB622 creates a pilot project to evaluate the use of chip seal on county gravel roads, a pavement treatment combining asphalt and gravel. The Department of Rural and Municipal Aid will oversee this project from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2030. Counties can use up to a certain percentage of their road aid funds for this purpose, depending on the proportion of their gravel roads. The bill mandates annual reports on the project's progress, including road miles sealed and costs. An emergency is declared to allow the project to begin at the start of the fiscal year.
