Infrastructure Policy
Authority:
GASB Statement No. 34
Effective Date:
7/1/2001
Policy:
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and normally can be preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets. Examples of infrastructure assets include roads, bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, dams, and lighting systems.
The Statewide chart of accounts has been updated to account for infrastructure assets (see Capital Assets Noncurrent ).
Account classification changes for infrastructure are only required to be applied prospectively. Infrastructure assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 may be classified as part of other capital assets (e.g., buildings).
