	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member John A. Perez

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act relating to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2703, as introduced, John A. Perez. Transportation funding.

   Existing law generally provides for programming and allocation of
state and federal transportation capital improvement program funds
pursuant to the state transportation improvement program process
administered by the California Transportation Commission. Under these
provisions, 25% of available funds are available for interregional
improvement projects nominated by the Department of Transportation,
subject to a requirement that 60% of these funds be available for
projects in nonurbanized areas on the interregional road system and
for intercity rail projects. The remaining 75% of available funds are
available for regional improvement projects nominated by regional
agencies. All funds programmed through the state transportation
improvement program process are subject to the north-south split, and
the regional improvement funds are further subject to the county
shares formula.
   Existing law establishes special procedures and formulas for
allocation and expenditure of federal transportation economic
stimulus funds received by the state in 2009.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to ensure that federal transportation funds received in
2010 are expeditiously awarded to maximize job retention in
California and to ensure robust oversight of those funds.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to ensure that federal transportation funds received in
2010 are expeditiously awarded to maximize job retention in
California and to ensure robust oversight of those funds.
