For a period of one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, the voters of a township at an annual township meeting or at a special township meeting called for the purpose may, by resolution by a majority vote of the voters present and voting on the resolution, distribute funds from the road and bridge fund to any township fund used for construction or maintenance of sewage or water treatment facilities.
