Six-year plan; basis; filing; failure to file; penalty; funds placed in escrow.The Department of Roads, and each county and municipality shall develop and file with the Board of Public Roads Classifications and Standards a long-range, six-year plan of highway, road, and street improvements based on priority of needs and calculated to contribute to the orderly development of an integrated statewide system of highways, roads, and streets. Each such plan shall be filed with the board promptly upon preparation but in no event later than March 1, 1971. If any county or municipality, or the Department of Roads, shall fail to file its plan on or before such date, the board shall so notify the local governing board, the Governor, and the State Treasurer, who shall suspend distribution of any highway-user revenue allocated to such county or municipality, or the Department of Roads, until the plan has been filed. Such funds shall be held in escrow for six months until the county or municipality complies. If the county or municipality complies within the six-month period it shall receive the money in escrow, but after six months, if the county or municipality fails to comply, the money in the escrow account shall be lost to the county or municipality.
