    On or before February 15 of each year, the department, in

    Sec. 2.  Section 309.22A, Code 2018, is amended to read as
 follows:
    309.22A  Annual report == replacement and repair of

    1.  On or before September 15 of each year, the county
 engineer of each county in the state shall certify and file
 a report with the department, as part of the annual report
 required under section 309.22, detailing the manner in which
 moneys received by the county that originated from the road use
 tax fund were used to replace or repair structurally deficient
 bridges in the county. The report shall include all of the
 following:
    a.  1.  The number of bridges under the county's jurisdiction
 that have been replaced or repaired to the point that they
 function at full capacity.
    b.  2.  The number of bridges under the county's jurisdiction

 that the bridges function at full capacity, and a brief

 and other high=efficiency motor vehicles. The department shall
 submit a report, in paper or electronic format, containing the
 department's estimate, evaluation, and any recommendations to
