INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Smyth

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2007

   An act to amend Section 2106 of the Streets and Highway Code,
relating to transportation, and making an appropriation therefor.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 534, as introduced, Smyth. Bicycle Transportation Account:
funding.
   Existing law specifies the amounts apportioned monthly from the
Highway Users Tax Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to cities
and counties and the amounts transferred monthly to the Bicycle
Transportation Account in the State Transportation Fund. Existing law
requires the sum of $416,667 to be transferred monthly to the
Bicycle Transportation Account from the Highway Users Tax Account.
Existing law continuously appropriates the money in the Bicycle
Transportation Account.
   This bill would instead require a monthly transfer of $1,000,000
to the Bicycle Transportation Account from the Highway Users Tax
Account, until the later of January 31, 2012, or the date on which
all moneys in the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and
Port Security Fund of 2006 have been expended, and would thereafter
reduce the monthly transfer to $416,667. Because this bill would
increase the amount of revenue in the Bicycle Transportation Account,
it would make an appropriation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 2106 of the Streets and Highways Code is
amended to read:
   2106.  A sum equal to the net revenue derived from one and four
one-hundredths cent ($0.0104) per gallon tax under the Motor Vehicle
Fuel License Tax Law (Part 2 (commencing with Section 7301) of
Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) shall be apportioned
monthly from the Highway Users Tax Account in the Transportation Tax
Fund among the counties and cities as follows:
   (a) Four hundred dollars ($400) per month shall be apportioned to
each city and city and county and eight hundred dollars ($800) per
month shall be apportioned to each county and city and county.
   (b) (1) Commencing on  July 31, 2001  
January 31, 2008  , and on the last day of each month after that
date,  to and including June 30, 2006   until
the later of January 31, 2012, or the date on which all moneys in the
Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security
Fund of 2006, set forth in Section 8879.23 of the Government Code,
have been expended  , the sum of  six hundred thousand
dollars ($600,000)   one million dollars ($1,000,000)
 per month shall be transferred to the Bicycle Transportation
Account in the State Transportation Fund.
   (2)  After June 30, 2006   Commencing 
 on the last day of the month after funds are no longer available
pursuant to paragraph (1), and on the last day of each month
thereafter  , the sum of four hundred sixteen thousand six
hundred sixty-seven dollars ($416,667) shall be transferred 
on the last day of each month after that date  to the
Bicycle Transportation Account in the State Transportation Fund.
   (c) The balance shall be apportioned, as follows:
   (1) A base sum shall be computed for each county by using the same
proportions of fee-paid and exempt vehicles as are established for
purposes of apportionment of funds under subdivision (d) of Section
2104.
   (2) For each county, the percentage of the total assessed
valuation of tangible property subject to local tax levies within the
county which is represented by the assessed valuation of tangible
property outside the incorporated cities of the county shall be
applied to its base sum, and the resulting amount shall be
apportioned to the county. The assessed valuation of taxable tangible
property, for purposes of this computation, shall be that most
recently used for countywide tax levies as reported to the Controller
by the State Board of Equalization. If an incorporation or
annexation is legally completed following the base sum computation,
the new city's assessed valuation shall be deducted from the county's
assessed valuation, the estimate of which may be provided by the
State Board of Equalization.
   (3) The difference between the base sum for each county and the
amount apportioned to the county shall be apportioned to the cities
of that county in the proportion that the population of each city
bears to the total population of all the cities in the county.
Populations used for determining apportionment of money under Section
2107 are to be used for purposes of this section.
