	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1458, Buchanan. California Transportation Commission.
   Existing law establishes in state government the California
Transportation Commission with specified powers, duties, and
functions relative to transportation matters. The Governor's
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012 (GRP 2) proposes to establish the
Transportation Agency, which would include various departments and
state entities, including the commission. GRP 2 is proposed to become
operative on July 1, 2013, if not disapproved by the Legislature in
accordance with specified procedures.
   This bill would provide that the commission retain independent
authority to perform its powers, duties, and functions. The bill
would provide that the above-described provisions would become
operative on July 1, 2013, and only if GRP 2 takes effect.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 14534.1 is added to the Government Code, to

Plan No. 2 of 2012 during the 2011-12 Regular Session, the
commission shall retain independent authority to perform those duties
and functions prescribed to it under this part.
  SEC. 2.  (a) Section 1 of this act shall become operative only if
the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012 becomes effective.
   (b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (a), Section 1 of
this act shall become operative on July 1, 2013.
   (c) Section 1 of this act shall prevail over any provision of the
Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012, regardless of the dates
on which this act and that plan take effect.
