AB 716, as amended, Quirk-Silva. Infrastructure plan: state planning and funding.
The California Infrastructure Planning Act requires the Governor to submit annually to the Legislature, in conjunction with the Governor’s Budget, a proposed 5-year infrastructure plan containing prescribed information. Existing law requires the plan to identify state infrastructure needs and set out priorities for funding. The plan defines the term “infrastructure” to mean real property, including land and improvements to the land, structures, and equipment integral to the operation of structures, easements, rights-of-way, and other forms of interest in property, roadways, and water conveyances.
This bill would additionally require the plan to set out priorities for coordination of investment. The bill would expand the definition of infrastructure to include housing.
begin insertExisting law creates the Strategic Growth Council consisting of various state agencies, with certain powers and duties relative to the identification and review of activities and funding programs of those agencies in order to improve air and water quality, improve natural resource protection, increase the availability of affordable housing, improve transportation, meet the goals of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, encourage sustainable land use planning, and revitalize urban and community centers in a sustainable manner. Existing law requires the council to review and comment on the infrastructure plan submitted by the Governor.
