	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 105, Committee on Budget. Transportation.
   (1) Existing law provides for payment of current general
obligation bond debt service for specified voter-approved
transportation bonds from gasoline excise tax revenue in the Highway
Users Tax Account and revenue in the Public Transportation Account,
and requires the Controller to make specified transfers of revenues
in that regard to the Transportation Debt Service Fund. Existing law,
pursuant to the Budget Act of 2010, provides for a loan of
$761,639,000 from gasoline excise tax revenue in the Highway Users
Tax Account to the General Fund, to be repaid with interest by June
30, 2013.
   Proposition 22, approved by the voters on November 2, 2010, amends
the California Constitution to, among other things, impose new
restrictions on the use of fuel excise tax revenues allocated to the
state and revenues deposited in the Public Transportation Account.
   This bill, in fiscal years 2010-11 and 2011-12, would require the
Controller to transfer specified amounts of revenues deposited in the
State Highway Account from vehicle weight fees to the Transportation
Debt Service Fund to be used for reimbursement of the General Fund
for payment of current general obligation bond debt service for
specified voter-approved transportation bonds, in lieu of the
previously authorized gasoline excise tax revenues and Public
Transportation Account revenues. In subsequent years, the bill would
require all vehicle weight fee revenues to be transferred for this
purpose. The bill would make appropriations in this regard. The bill
would require the Department of Finance to notify the Controller of
the amount of debt service relating to expenditures for eligible mass
transit guideway projects that may be paid from revenues restricted
by Article XIX of the California Constitution.
   This bill, in fiscal year 2010-11, would require the Controller to
transfer specified amounts of revenues deposited in the State
Highway Account from vehicle weight fees to the General Fund as a
loan, in lieu of the previously authorized loan of gasoline excise
tax revenues. The loan amount for 2010-11 would be repaid over 3
years beginning on June 30, 2014. The bill would also authorize an
additional loan in fiscal year 2011-12 of specified vehicle weight
fee revenues, to be repaid by June 30, 2015. The bill would make
appropriations in this regard.
   This bill would require the Controller to take various other
conforming actions as of November 2, 2010, due to voter approval of
Proposition 22 and to the extent the Controller has previously taken
actions inconsistent with the requirements imposed by this bill.
   (2) Existing law, in the 2011-12 fiscal year, requires certain
revenues deposited in the State Highway Account that are not
restricted as to expenditure by Article XIX of the California
Constitution to be transferred to the Transportation Debt Service
Fund for payment of current year debt service on certain mass
transportation bonds. Thereafter, these revenues are to be
transferred to the Public Transportation Account.
   This bill would, instead, transfer these revenues to the
Transportation Debt Service Fund for payment of current year debt
service on certain mass transportation bonds in the 2011-12 and
2012-13 fiscal years. Beginning in 2013-14, these revenues would be
retained in the State Highway Account until appropriated by the
Legislature.
   (3) Proposition 26, approved by the voters on November 2, 2010,
amends the California Constitution to, among other things, require a
2/3 vote of both houses of the Legislature for any change in statute
that results in any taxpayer paying a higher tax. Proposition 26 also
provides that any tax adopted after January 1, 2010, but prior to
November 3, 2010, that was not adopted in compliance with the 2/3
vote requirement shall be void on November 3, 2011, unless the tax is
reenacted by the Legislature with a 2/3 vote.
   Existing law, as of July 1, 2010, eliminates the state sales and
use tax on motor vehicle fuel (gasoline) and increases the excise
tax. Existing law, as of July 1, 2011, increases the sales and use
tax on diesel and decreases the excise tax. Existing law requires the
State Board of Equalization to annually modify both the gasoline and
diesel excise tax rates on a going-forward basis so that the various
changes in the taxes imposed on gasoline and diesel, as described
above, are revenue neutral. Existing law enacts other provisions
related to the implementation of these provisions.
   This bill would repeal all of these provisions. The bill would
enact new, similar replacement provisions, and state the intent of
the Legislature that the changes are being made in order to comply
with Proposition 26. The bill would also increase the new diesel
sales and use tax rates to be applicable in fiscal years 2011-12,
2012-13, and 2013-14 above the rates currently in effect that the
bill would repeal. These increases in the diesel sales and use tax
rates would be offset by a reduction in the diesel excise tax rate as
of July 1, 2011, and a requirement for the State Board of
Equalization to adjust diesel excise tax rates on a going-forward
basis to ensure that the overall changes in these diesel fuel taxes
are revenue neutral.
   (4) Existing statutory law provides that 75% of diesel sales tax
revenues at the 4 ¾% rate are to be allocated by the Controller from
the Public Transportation Account to local agencies for public
transportation purposes pursuant to the State Transit Assistance
Program, with the remaining 25% of revenues to made available for
mass transit programs at the state level. Proposition 22, approved by
the voters on November 2, 2010, amends the California Constitution
to require these Public Transportation Account revenues to be divided
equally between the State Transit Assistance Program and the
state-level programs.
   This bill would conform the statutory provisions to the
requirements of Proposition 22. The bill would appropriate
$23,000,000 to the Controller from the Public Transportation Account
in the 2011-12 fiscal year for allocation to the State Transit
Assistance Program. The bill would also continuously appropriate all
of the diesel sales revenues above the 4 ¾% rate to the Controller
for allocation to that program.
   (5) Existing law provides for a loan of $135,000,000 from the
State Highway Account to the General Fund that is to be repaid by
June 30, 2012.
   This bill would instead require that loan to be repaid by June 30,
2013.
   (6) Existing law, until July 1, 2011, authorizes the Department of
Transportation to transfer funds as short-term loans between various
transportation accounts.
   This bill would extend the operation of these provisions until
July 1, 2014. The bill would also eliminate the authority of the
department to transfer funds as short-term loans to and from the
Transportation Investment Fund, the Transportation Deferred
Investment Fund, and the Public Transportation Account.
   (7) Existing law creates the California Transportation Commission,
with various duties and responsibilities relative to the programming
and allocation of funds for transportation capital projects.
Existing law requires the commission to submit, by December 15 of
each year, an annual report to the Legislature summarizing the
commission's prior-year decisions in allocating transportation
capital funds and identifying timely and relevant transportation
issues facing the state. Existing law, the Highway Safety, Traffic
Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006,
authorizes the issuance of $19.25 billion of general obligation bonds
for specified purposes, including $2 billion to be transferred to
the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund to be available, upon
appropriation in the annual Budget Act by the Legislature and subject
to such conditions and criteria as the Legislature may provide by
statute, for allocation by the commission. Existing law requires the
Department of Transportation to, on or before February 18, 2009,
report to specified committees of the Legislature a summary of any
memorandum of understanding or any other agreement executed between a
railroad company and any state or local transportation agency
relative to any project funded with moneys allocated from the Trade
Corridors Improvement Fund.
   This bill would instead require the commission to provide that
report to specified committees of the Legislature within 30 days of
receiving such a memorandum of understanding or executed agreement.
The bill would also, commencing January 1, 2012, require the
commission to provide semiannual reports to those committees on the
status of all railroad projects programmed in the Trade Corridors
Improvement Fund program. The bill would make these reporting
requirements inoperative on January 1, 2015.
   (8) The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port
Security Bond Act of 2006 also requires that $1 billion of bond funds
be deposited in the Transit System Safety, Security, and Disaster
Response Account, administered by the California Emergency Management
Agency (Cal EMA), for capital projects that provide increased
protection against a security and safety threat, and for capital
expenditures to increase the capacity of transit operators to develop
disaster response transportation systems, as specified. Existing law
requires 25% of available funds to be allocated to certain regional
public waterborne transit agencies. Existing law requires entities
receiving funds from that account to expend those funds within 3
fiscal years of the fiscal year in which the funds were allocated and
requires that funds remaining unexpended after those 3 years revert
to Cal EMA for reallocation in subsequent fiscal years.
   This bill, notwithstanding these provisions, would provide that
entities receiving an allocation of the funds set aside for regional
public waterborne transit agencies, relative to allocations of funds
made prior to June 30, 2011, shall have 4 fiscal years from the last
day of the fiscal year in which the funds were received by that
entity to expend those funds.
   (9) Existing law requires funds from the Local Street and Road
Improvement, Congestion Relief, and Traffic Safety Account of 2006 to
be made available to the Controller for allocation to cities,
counties, and a city and county, for purposes of the Highway Safety,
Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006,
as specified. Upon receipt of funds, a city, county, or city and
county is required to expend those funds within 3 fiscal years from
the date that the funds are allocated to it by the Controller, and
any funds not expended within that period are required to be returned
to the Controller and reallocated to other cities, counties, or a
city and county, as specified.
   Existing law establishes the Highway Users Tax Account in the
Transportation Tax Fund with revenues in the account restricted to
expenditure on various purposes, including public street and highway
purposes and certain mass transit guideway purposes.
   This bill would authorize a city, county, or city and county that
receives these funds in a fiscal year in which funds from the Highway
Users Tax Account are deferred, suspended, borrowed, or shifted, to
expend those funds within 4 fiscal years from the last date of the
fiscal year in which the funds are allocated to it by the Controller.

   (10) Existing law, the California High-Speed Rail Act, creates the
High-Speed Rail Authority to develop and implement a high-speed rail
system in the state, with specified powers and duties. Existing law
provides for appointment of an executive director by the authority,
who is exempt from civil service and serves at the pleasure of the
authority. Existing law requires the executive director to be paid a
salary established by the authority and approved by the Department of
Personnel Administration.
   This bill, for purposes of managing and administering the ongoing
work of the authority in implementing the high-speed train project,
would authorize the Governor, upon the recommendation of the
executive director, to appoint up to 6 additional individuals, exempt
from civil service, who would serve in specified positions at the
pleasure of the executive director. The bill would require a salary
survey to be conducted to determine the compensation for the
executive director and additional exempt persons, and would require
the salaries to be established by the authority and approved by the
Department of Personnel Administration.
   This bill would impose certain reporting requirements on the
authority with respect to a portion of funds appropriated to the
authority in the 2010 and 2011 Budget Acts, to be submitted to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
   (11) Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation
has full possession and control of the state highway system. Existing
law creates various programs to fund transportation capital
improvement programs and provides for allocation of those funds.
Existing law requires the department to prepare an annual budget, as
specified, for submission to the Governor.
   This bill would require the department to submit specified
supplemental information by May 1 of each year to the Legislative
Analyst and to the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the
Assembly Committee on Appropriations to substantiate the department's
proposed capital outlay support budget.
   (12) Existing law provides for apportionment by the Controller of
a specified amount of gasoline excise tax revenues in the Highway
Users Tax Account to cities and counties for local street and road
purposes, including revenues from the increase in the gasoline excise
tax, pursuant to Chapters 11 and 12 of the 8th Extraordinary Session
of the Statutes of 2010. These revenues, including the revenues from
the increase in the gasoline excise tax, are not subject to
expenditure requirements and restrictions that were applicable to
revenues from the gasoline sales tax that was repealed by the
above-referenced legislation.
   This bill would clarify that the revenues apportioned to cities
and counties from the increase in the gasoline excise tax may be used
for any local street and road purpose and are not subject to the
requirements and restrictions applicable to the former gasoline sales
tax revenues.
   (13) Under existing law, when the Department of Motor Vehicles
determines that an applicant is lawfully entitled to a driver's
license, the department is required to issue that license to the
applicant. Existing law specifies the contents of a driver's license.
Existing law requires that the front of an application for an
original or renewal of a driver's license or identification card
contain a space for an applicant to give his or her consent to be an
organ and tissue donor upon death.
   This bill would also require the application for a driver's
license or identification card to contain a space for an applicant to
indicate whether he or she has served in the Armed Forces of the
United States and to give his or her consent to be contacted
regarding eligibility to receive state or federal veterans benefits.
The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to
electronically transmit to the Department of Veterans Affairs
specified information on an applicant who has identified on his or
her application for a driver's license or identification card that he
or she has served in the Armed Forces of the United States and
consents to being contacted about veterans benefits.
   (14) The bill would enact other related provisions.
   (15) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to
declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special
session for that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a
proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special
session for this purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued
a proclamation on January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a
fiscal emergency exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes
the earlier proclamation for purposes of that constitutional
provision.
   This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency
declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on
January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
   (16) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to reenact the
"fuel tax swap," as originally enacted by Assembly Bill 6 of the
2009-10 Eighth Extraordinary Session and subsequently modified by
Senate Bill 70 of the 2009-10 Regular Session, and as further
modified herein, with a two-thirds vote of each house of the

Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor. In that event, the commission shall
collaborate with the local transportation agencies in that corridor
to select another project or projects for programming of those funds,

   (3) This subdivision shall become inoperative on January 1, 2015,
pursuant to Section 10231.5.
  SEC. 3.  Section 8879.61 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   8879.61.  (a) (1) Entities described in subdivisions (a), (b), and

   (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), for an allocation of funds made
prior to June 30, 2011, to an entity described in subdivision (b) of
Section 8879.57, that entity shall have four fiscal years from the
last day of the fiscal year in which the funds were received by that
entity to expend those funds.
   (b) Entities that receive grant awards from funds allocated

   (c) Funds appropriated for the program established by this article
in the Budget Act of 2007 shall be allocated consistent with the
allocation schedule established in Section 8879.57.
  SEC. 4.  Section 8879.65 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   8879.65.  (a) Funds appropriated from the Local Street and Road
Improvement, Congestion Relief, and Traffic Safety Account of 2006,
established by subdivision (l) of Section 8879.23, shall be made
available to the Controller for allocation to cities, counties, and a
city and county. From bond funds appropriated in the 2007-08 fiscal
year for cities, including a city and county, each city, and city and
county, shall receive at least a minimum allocation of four hundred
thousand dollars ($400,000), as described in subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (l) of Section 8879.23. The remainder of
the funds appropriated for cities, including a city and county,
shall be allocated in the proportion described in subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (l) of Section 8879.23. In no case
shall a city, or a city and county, receive an allocation in excess
of its total share, as described in subdivision (l) of Section
8879.23, except as described in subdivision (d).
   (b) Prior to receiving an allocation of funds from the Controller
in a fiscal year, an eligible local agency shall submit to the
Department of Finance a list of projects expected to be funded with
bond funds pursuant to an adopted city, county, or city and county
budget. All projects proposed to be funded with funds from the
account shall be included in a city, county, or city and county
budget that is adopted by the applicable city council or board of
supervisors at a regular public meeting. The list of projects
expected to be funded with bond funds shall include a description and
the location of the proposed project, a proposed schedule for the
project's completion, and the estimated useful life of the
improvement. The project list shall not limit the flexibility of an
eligible local agency to fund projects in accordance with local needs
and priorities so long as the projects are consistent with
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (l) of Section
8879.23.
   (1) The Department of Finance shall report monthly to the
Controller the eligible local agencies that have submitted a list of
projects as described in this subdivision.
   (2) Upon receipt of the information described in paragraph (1),
the Controller shall allocate funds to those agencies that have
submitted a list of projects, as reported by the Department of
Finance.
   (c) Each fiscal year upon expending funds from the account, a
city, county, or city and county shall submit documentation to the
Department of Finance which includes a description and location of
each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project,
the completion date, and the project's estimated useful life. The
documentation shall be forwarded to the department, in a manner and
form approved by the department, at the end of each fiscal year until
the funds in the account are exhausted. The department may post the
information contained in the documentation on the department's
official Web site.
   (d) (1) A city, county, or city and county receiving funds
pursuant to this section shall have three fiscal years to expend the
funds following the fiscal year in which the allocation was made by
the Controller, and any funds not expended within that period shall
be returned to the Controller and be reallocated to other cities,
counties, or a city and county, as applicable, pursuant to the
allocation formulas set forth in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph
(1) of subdivision (l) of Section 8879.23, but excluding the
requirement for a minimum city allocation as described in
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of that subdivision and section.
   (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a city, county, or city and
county receiving funds pursuant to this section, during any fiscal
year in which funds from the Highway Users Tax Account are deferred,
suspended, borrowed, or shifted, shall have four fiscal years from
the last date of the fiscal year in which the funds are allocated to
it by the Controller to expend the funds.
   (e) Subject to the requirements and conditions of this section, it
is the intent of the Legislature to appropriate funds from the
account so that the Controller may allocate the balance of these
funds to eligible local agencies over the next four years, following
the 2007-08 fiscal year. Nothing in this section shall prevent the
Legislature from appropriating funds on a more expedited basis based
on local agency need.
   (f) The sum of three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000)
is hereby appropriated from funds in the Local Street and Road
Improvement, Congestion Relief, and Traffic Safety Account of 2006
created pursuant to subdivision (l) of Section 8879.23, for
allocation pursuant to this article, as an augmentation to the amount
appropriated in Item 9350-104-6065 of the Budget Act of 2007. The
total 2007-08 fiscal year appropriation of nine hundred fifty million
dollars ($950,000,000) shall be allocated as follows: four hundred
million dollars ($400,000,000) to counties and five hundred fifty
million dollars ($550,000,000) to cities.
   (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Item 9350-104-6065 of the
Budget Act of 2008, a city or city and county that receives any
portion of the funds appropriated by that item shall agree to
encumber the funds before July 1, 2010.
  SEC. 5.  Section 14556.7 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   14556.7.  (a) To provide adequate cash for projects, including,
but not limited to, projects in the State Transportation Improvement
Program, the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and the
Traffic Congestion Relief Program, and for the support of the
department, the department may transfer funds as short-term loans
among and between the State Highway Account in the State
Transportation Fund and the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund (TCRF),
subject to those terms and conditions that the Director of Finance
may impose upon those transfers. When loan balances authorized in
this subdivision are outstanding, the Director of Transportation
shall report the amounts of loans outstanding with respect to each
fund or account as of the last business day of each quarter to the
commission. The commission shall monitor the cashflow loan program
authorized in this section and shall provide guidance to the
department to ensure that sufficient resources will be available for
all projects and all other authorized expenditures from each fund or
account so as to not delay any authorized expenditure.
   (b) For the purposes of this section, a "short-term loan" is a
transfer that is made subject to the following conditions:
   (1) That any amount loaned is to be repaid in full to the fund or
account from which it was loaned during the same fiscal year in which
the loan was made, except that repayment may be delayed until a date
not more than 30 days after the date of enactment of the annual
Budget Act for the subsequent fiscal year.
   (2) That loans shall be repaid whenever the funds are needed to
meet cash expenditure needs in the loaning fund or account.
   (c) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as
of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,
that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or
extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
  SEC. 6.  Section 16965 of the Government Code is amended to read:
   16965.  (a) The Transportation Debt Service Fund is hereby created
in the State Treasury. Moneys in the fund shall, among other things,
as provided in this section, be dedicated to payment of debt service
on bonds including bonds issued pursuant to the Clean Air and
Transportation Improvement Act of 1990 (Part 11.5 (commencing with
Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code), the
Passenger Rail and Clean Air Bond Act of 1990 (Chapter 17 (commencing
with Section 2701) of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code),
the Seismic Retrofit Bond Act of 1996 (Chapter 12.48 (commencing with
Section 8879) of Division 1 of Title 2), the Highway Safety, Traffic
Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Chapter
12.49 (commencing with Section 8879.20) of Division 1 of Title 2),
and the Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the
21st Century (Chapter 20 (commencing with Section 2704) of Division 3
of the Streets and Highways Code). If the moneys in the fund are
insufficient to pay the balance of the debt consistent with existing
obligations, the General Fund will be used to pay the balance of any

  SEC. 20.  Section 6480.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is
repealed.
  SEC. 21.  Section 6480.1 is added to the Revenue and Taxation Code,
to read:
   6480.1.  (a) At any time that motor vehicle fuel tax or diesel
fuel tax is imposed or would be imposed, but for the dyed diesel fuel
exemption in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 60100, or
the train operator exemption in paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) of
Section 60100 or paragraph (11) of subdivision (a) of Section 7401,
or, pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 6480, would be deemed to
be imposed, on any removal, entry, or sale in this state of motor
vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, the supplier shall
collect prepayment of retail sales tax from the person to whom the
motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel is sold.
However, if no sale occurs at the time of imposition of motor vehicle
fuel tax or diesel fuel tax, the supplier shall prepay the retail
sales tax on that motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel
fuel. The prepayment required to be collected by the supplier
constitutes a debt owed by the supplier to this state until paid to
the board, until satisfactory proof has been submitted to prove that
the retailer of the fuel has paid the retail sales tax to the board,
or until a supplier or wholesaler who has consumed the fuel has paid
the use tax to the board. Each supplier shall report and pay the
prepayment amounts to the board, in a form as prescribed by the
board, in the period in which the fuel is sold. On each subsequent
sale of that fuel, each seller, other than the retailer, shall
collect from his or her purchaser a prepayment computed using the
rate applicable at the time of sale. Each supplier shall provide his
or her purchaser with an invoice for, or other evidence of, the
collection of the prepayment amounts which shall be separately stated
thereon.
   (b) (1) A wholesaler shall collect prepayment of the retail sales
tax from the person to whom the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet
fuel, or diesel fuel is sold. Each wholesaler shall provide his or
her purchaser with an invoice for or other evidence of the collection
of the prepayment amounts, which shall be separately stated thereon.

   (2) Each wholesaler shall report to the board, in a form as
prescribed by the board and for the period in which the motor vehicle
fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel was sold, all of the
following:
   (A) The number of gallons of fuel sold and the amount of sales tax
prepayments collected by the wholesaler.
   (B) The number of tax-paid gallons purchased and the amount of
sales tax prepayments made by the wholesaler.
   (C) In the event that the amount of sales tax prepayments
collected by the wholesaler is greater than the amount of sales tax
prepayments made by the wholesaler, then the excess constitutes a
debt owed by the wholesaler to the state until paid to the board, or
until satisfactory proof has been submitted that the retailer of the
fuel has paid the tax to the board.
   (c) A supplier or wholesaler who pays the prepayment and issues a
resale certificate to the seller, but subsequently consumes the motor
vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, shall be entitled
to a credit against his or her sales and use taxes due and payable
for the period in which the prepayment was made, provided that he or
she reports and pays the use tax to the board on the consumption of
that fuel.
   (d) The amount of a prepayment paid by the retailer or a supplier
or wholesaler who has consumed the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet
fuel, or diesel fuel to the seller from whom he or she acquired the
fuel shall constitute a credit against his or her sales and use taxes
due and payable for the period in which the sale was made. Failure
of the supplier or wholesaler to report prepayments or the supplier's
or wholesaler's failure to comply with any other duty under this
article shall not constitute grounds for denial of the credit to the
retailer, supplier, or wholesaler, either on a temporary or permanent
basis or otherwise. To be entitled to the credit, the retailer,
supplier, or wholesaler shall retain for inspection by the board any
receipts, invoices, or other documents showing the amount of sales
tax prepaid to his or her supplier, together with the evidence of
payment.
   (e) The rate of the prepayment required to be collected during the
period from July 1, 1986, through March 31, 1987, shall be four
cents ($0.04) per gallon of motor vehicle fuel distributed or
transferred.
   (f) On April 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for motor vehicle fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one
cent ($0.005), of the required prepayment shall be established by
the board based upon 80 percent of the combined state and local sales
tax rate established by Sections 6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 7202,
and 7203.1, and Section 35 of Article XIII of the California
Constitution on the arithmetic average selling price (excluding sales
tax) as determined by the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission, in its latest publication of the "Quarterly
Oil Report," of all grades of gasoline sold through a self-service
gasoline station. In the event the "Quarterly Oil Report" is delayed
or discontinued, the board may base its determination on other
sources of the arithmetic average selling price of gasoline. The
board shall make its determination of the rate no later than November
1 of the year prior to the effective date of the new rate.
Immediately upon making its determination and setting of the rate,
the board shall each year, no later than January 1, notify by mail
every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of motor vehicle fuel. In
the event the price of fuel decreases or increases or an exemption
from sales tax for sales of fuel is enacted, and the established rate
results in or could result in prepayments which consistently exceed
or are significantly lower than the retailers' sales tax liability,
the board may readjust the rate.
   (g) On April 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for aircraft jet fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one
cent ($0.005), shall be established by the board based upon 80
percent of the combined state and local sales tax rate established by
Sections 6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 7202, and 7203.1, and Section
35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution on the arithmetic
average selling price (excluding sales and state excise tax) as
determined by the board. The board shall make its determination of
the rate no later than November 1 of the year prior to the effective
date of the new rate. The rate of the prepayment required to be
collected for aircraft jet fuel shall be equal to 80 percent of the
arithmetic average selling price of aircraft jet fuel as specified by
industry publications. Immediately upon making its determination and
setting of the rate, the board shall each year, no later than
January 1, notify by mail every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of
aircraft jet fuel. In the event the price of aircraft jet fuel
decreases or increases, and the established rate results in
prepayments that consistently exceed or are significantly lower than
the retailers' sales tax liability, the board may readjust the rate.
   (h) On April 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for diesel fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one cent
($0.005), shall be established by the board based upon 80 percent of
the combined state and local sales tax rate established by Sections
6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 7202, and 7203.1, and Section 35 of
Article XIII of the California Constitution on the arithmetic average
selling price (excluding sales and state excise tax) as determined
by the board. The board shall make its determination of the rate no
later than November 1 of the year prior to the effective date of the
new rate. The rate of the prepayment required to be collected for
diesel fuel shall be equal to 80 percent of the arithmetic average
selling price of diesel fuel as specified by industry publications.
Immediately upon making its determination and setting of the rate,
the board shall each year, no later than January 1, notify by mail
every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of diesel fuel. In the event
the rate of sales tax imposed on sales of diesel fuel increases or
decreases or the price of diesel fuel decreases or increases, and the
established rate results in or could result in prepayments that
consistently exceed or are significantly lower than the retailers'
sales tax liability, the board may readjust the rate.
   (i) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, motor
vehicle fuel sold by a supplier or wholesaler to a qualified
purchaser who, pursuant to a contract with the State of California or
its instrumentalities, resells that fuel to the State of California
or its instrumentalities shall be exempt from the prepayment
requirements.
   (2) A qualified purchaser who acquires motor vehicle fuel for
subsequent resale to the State of California or its instrumentalities
pursuant to this subdivision shall furnish to the supplier or
wholesaler from whom the fuel is acquired an exemption certificate,
completed in accordance with any instructions or regulations as the
board may prescribe. The supplier or wholesaler shall retain the
certificate in his or her records in support of the exemption. To
qualify for the prepayment exemption, both of the following
conditions shall apply:
   (A) The qualified purchaser does not take possession of the fuel
at any time.
   (B) The fuel is delivered into storage tanks owned or leased by
the State of California or its instrumentalities via facilities of
the supplier or wholesaler, or by common or contract carriers under
contract with the supplier or wholesaler.
   (3) For purposes of this subdivision, "qualified purchaser" means
a wholesaler who does not have or maintain a storage facility or
facilities for the purpose of selling motor vehicle fuel.

cents ($0.09) per gallon and federal financial allocations to this
state for highway and exclusive public mass transit guideway purposes
are reduced or eliminated correspondingly, the tax rate imposed by

recalculated by an amount so that the combined state rate under
paragraph (1) and the federal tax rate per gallon equal twenty-seven
cents ($0.27).
   (3) If any person or entity is exempt or partially exempt from the
federal fuel tax at the time of a reduction, the person or entity
shall continue to be so exempt under this section.
   (b) (1) On and after July 1, 2010, in addition to the tax imposed

three-tenths cents ($0.173) per gallon.
   (2) For the 2011-12 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the board shall, on or before March 1 of the fiscal year immediately
preceding the applicable fiscal year, adjust the rate in paragraph
(1) in that manner as to generate an amount of revenue that will
equal the amount of revenue loss attributable to the exemption
provided by Section 6357.7, based on estimates made by the board, and
that rate shall be effective during the state's next fiscal year.
   (3) In order to maintain revenue neutrality for each year,
beginning with the rate adjustment on or before March 1, 2012, the
adjustment under paragraph (2) shall also take into account the
extent to which the actual amount of revenues derived pursuant to

Controller has distributed any of the revenues identified in this
paragraph to cities and counties pursuant to subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (3) between October 14, 2010, and the effective date of

that would have been transferred to the General Fund as a loan
pursuant to Item 2660-011-0062 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of

and county that are not state highways shall be deemed to be county
roads.

  SEC. 36.  Section 12811 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
   12811.  (a) (1) (A) When the department determines that the
applicant is lawfully entitled to a license, it shall issue to the
person a driver's license as applied for. The license shall state the
class of license for which the licensee has qualified and shall
contain the distinguishing number assigned to the applicant, the date
of expiration, the true full name, age, and mailing address of the
licensee, a brief description and engraved picture or photograph of
the licensee for the purpose of identification, and space for the
signature of the licensee.
   (B) Each license shall also contain a space for the endorsement of
a record of each suspension or revocation thereof.
   (C) The department shall use whatever process or processes, in the
issuance of engraved or colored licenses, that prohibit, as near as
possible, the ability to alter or reproduce the license, or prohibit
the ability to superimpose a picture or photograph on the license
without ready detection.
   (2) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (1), a license
issued to a person under 18 years of age shall display the words
"provisional until age 18."
   (b) (1) On and after July 1, 2011, an application for an original
or renewal driver's license or identification card shall contain a
space for the applicant to enroll in the Donate Life California Organ
and Tissue Donor Registry. The application shall include check boxes
for an applicant to mark either (A) Yes, add my name to the donor
registry or (B) I do not wish to register at this time.
   (2) The department shall inquire verbally of an applicant applying
in person for an original or renewal driver's license or
identification card at a department office as to whether the
applicant wishes to enroll in the Donate Life California Organ and
Tissue Donor Registry. Failure or refusal to answer this question or
check a box on the application form shall not be a basis for the
department to deny an applicant a driver's license or identification
card.
   (3) The following language shall be included with the question
required by paragraph (1):

   "Marking 'Yes' adds your name to the Donate Life California Organ
and Tissue Donor Registry and a pink 'donor' dot will appear on your
license. If you wish to remove your name from the registry you must
contact Donate Life California (see back); DMV can remove the pink
dot from your licenses but cannot remove you from the registry."

   (4) The back of the application shall contain the following
statement:

   "If, on the front of this form, you marked 'Yes' to register as an
organ and tissue donor you are legally authorizing the recovery of
organs and tissues in the event of your death. Registering as a donor
will not affect your medical treatment in any way. As outlined in
the California Anatomical Gift Act, your authorization is legally
binding and, unless the donor is under 18 years of age, your decision
does not require the consent of any other person. For registered
donors under 18 years of age, the legal guardian shall make the final
donation decision. You may limit your donation to specific organs or
tissues, place usage restrictions, for example transplantation or
research, obtain more information about donation, or remove your name
from the registry on the Internet Web site of Donate Life
California: www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org."

   (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person under 18
years of age may register as a donor. However, the legal guardian of
that person shall make the final decision regarding the donation.
   (6) The department shall collect donor designation information on
all applications for an original or renewal driver's license or
identification card.
   (7) The department shall print the word "DONOR" or another
