	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2206, Salinas.  Transportation:  rail service.
   Existing law prescribes the allocation of funds from the Public
Transportation Account and the State Highway Account, both in the
State Transportation Fund.
   This bill would require that funds previously allocated to the
City of Seaside for the Fort Ord rail station right-of-way
acquisition could also be used by the Transportation Agency for
Monterey County for work at the Monterey Bay rail station and would
require the commission to oversee the timely use of these funds in
accordance with the requirements specified in current law.
   By expanding the use of the funds originally authorized for
expenditure for the Fort Ord rail station, the bill would make an
appropriation.
   Appropriation:  yes.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 99315.95 is added to the Public Utilities Code,
to read:
   99315.95.  All funds from the Public Transportation Account and
the State Highway Account, in the State Transportation Fund,
previously allocated by the California Transportation Commission to
the City of Seaside for the acquisition of right-of-way for the Fort
Ord rail station shall also be available for expenditure by the
Transportation Agency for Monterey County for work at the Monterey
Bay rail station.  The commission shall oversee the timely use of
these funds in accordance with the requirements specified in current
law.
