CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 925

Introduced by Senator Wiener

January 11, 2024

~~An act relating to transportation.~~ An act to amend Section 9146 of the Government Code, relating to the Legislature.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 925, as amended, Wiener. ~~San Francisco Bay area: local revenue measure: transportation improvements.~~ Legislative review of state agency action.

Existing law requires a state agency, as specified, to notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee not less than 60 days prior to the effective date on which the state agency will establish or change a federal aid allocation formula to a local agency. If the chairperson of the committee informs committee members of the chairperson’s intention to waive the 60-day notification period, existing law permits the chairperson to grant a waiver of that notification period after receipt of the notification if an objection is not received within 10 days. Existing law requires, upon the request of the chairperson or any member of the committee, the committee to schedule a hearing on the proposed allocation formula to be established or changed.
This bill would reduce the objection period before granting a waiver to 9 days.
Existing law creates the Metropolitan Transportation Commission as a local area planning agency for the 9-county San Francisco Bay area with comprehensive regional transportation planning and other related responsibilities. Existing law creates various transit districts located in the San Francisco Bay area, with specified powers and duties relating to providing public transit services.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation to authorize the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to propose a revenue measure to the voters in its jurisdiction to fund the operation, expansion, and transformation of the San Francisco Bay area’s public transportation system, as well as other transportation improvements.
