INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bermudez

                        FEBRUARY 16, 2005

   An act to amend Section 2196.1 of the Streets and Highways Code,
relating to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 489, Bermudez  Ports: transportation network.
   Existing law requires the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long
Beach to evaluate changes to the goods movement network to gauge
adherence by those ports to the certain state goals relative to
utilization of and congestion at ports and to collect statistics
regarding compliance with federal, state, and local efforts to
achieve certain related objectives. Existing law requires the ports
to report to the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, the
Office of Goods Movement of the Department of Transportation, and the
Assembly and Senate Committees on Transportation in this regard by
January 31, 2005, and annually thereafter through 2007.
   This bill would instead require the ports to provide those reports
by January 1, 2006, and annually thereafter through 2008. Because
the bill would place increased duties on the ports, it would impose a
state-mandated local program.
  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 2196.1 of the Streets and Highways Code is
amended to read:
   2196.1.  The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, to
the extent practicable, shall provide the statistical data on imports
and exports obtained pursuant to Section 2196 to the Business,
Transportation and Housing Agency, the Office of Goods Movement of
the Department of Transportation, and the Assembly and Senate
Committees on Transportation. That information shall be provided on
or before January 31, 2006, and annually thereafter through 2008.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
