                        ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION
                               Bonnie Lowenthal, Chair
                      SB 11 (Pavley) - As Amended:  May 28, 2013

           SENATE VOTE  :  32-5
           
          SUBJECT  :  Alternative fuel and vehicle technologies: funding  
          programs.

           SUMMARY  :  Extends, until January 1, 2024, various fees and  
          surcharges related to the clean air, fuel, tire recycling, and  
          clean vehicle and replacement programs of the California Air  
          Resources Board (ARB), the California Energy Commission (CEC),  
          local air pollution control districts, and the State Bureau of  
          Automotive Repair (BAR).  Directs funding from the programs for  
          the construction of hydrogen fueling stations.  Specifically,  
           this bill  :  

          1)Extends, from January 1, 2014 or January 1, 2015, to January  
            1, 2024, the sunset dates of various clean air and alternative  
            fuels and vehicle programs, and the related fees and  
            surcharges, under ARB, CEC, local air pollution control  
            districts, and BAR, as follows:  

             a)   $8 increase, from $12 to $20, in the smog abatement fee,  
               paid to register vehicles that are less than six model  
               years old and therefore exempt from smog check.  The  
               revenues are directed equally to the Alternative and  
               Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP) and  
               the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP).  

             b)   $0.75 fee increase on tire sales to the Air Pollution  
               Control Fund for the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality  
               Standards Attainment (Carl Moyer) Program and other air  
               emission reduction efforts.  

             c)   $3 additional fee on the annual vehicle registration fee  
               ($2 for the ARFVTP and $1 for the Enhanced Fleet  
               Modernization Subaccount).  

             d)   $2 surcharge for local air districts on vehicle  
               registrations to fund emission reduction programs,  
               including the Carl Moyer Program.

                                                                  Page  2


             e)   $5 increase of the fee for special identification plates  
               for construction equipment, farm trailers, cotton trailers,  
               logging vehicles, and cemetery equipment.  The revenues are  
               directed equally to the ARFVTP and the AQIP.  

             f)   $10 or $20 (depending upon the even or odd year of  
               registration) increase for vessel registration.  The  
               revenues are directed equally to the ARFVTP and the AQIP.  

             g)   $1.00 tire fee that is reduced to $0.75 after January 1,  
               2015, to fund the Carl Moyer Program and air quality  
               improvement programs through local air districts.  

          2)Defines "publicly available hydrogen fueling station" to mean  
            the equipment used to store and dispense hydrogen fuel to  
            vehicles according to industry codes and standards that is  
            open to the public.  

          3)Repeals the authority of ARB, until January 1, 2024, from  
            enforcing regulations related to the Clean Fuels Outlet  
            regulation and the deployment of hydrogen fueling stations.  

          4)Requires ARB, on or before June 30, 2014, and every year  
            thereafter, to aggregate and make available all of the  
            following:   

             a)   The number of hydrogen-fueled vehicles that motor  
               vehicle manufacturers project to be sold or leased over the  
               next three years as reported to ARB pursuant to the Low  
               Emission Vehicle regulations.  

             b)   The total number of hydrogen-fueled vehicles registered  
               with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) through April  
               30.  

          1)Requires ARB, on or before June 30, 2014, and every year  
            thereafter, based on the information made available, to do  
            both of the following:  

             a)   Evaluate the need for additional publicly available  
               hydrogen fueling stations for the subsequent three years.  

             b)   Report findings to the CEC on the need for additional  
               public hydrogen fueling stations.   








                                                                 SB 11
                                                                  Page  3


          1)Requires CEC to allocate $20,000,000 annually to fund the  
            number of stations identified, not to exceed 20% of the monies  
            appropriated by the Legislature from the ARFVTP Fund, until  
            there are at least 100 publicly available hydrogen fueling  
            stations in operation in California.  

          2)Allows CEC, in consultation with ARB, upon determination that  
            the full amount is not needed to fund the number of hydrogen  
            stations, to allocate any remaining monies to other ARFVTP  
            projects.  

          3)Requires CEC, in consultation with the ARB, to award funds  
            based on best available data, in accordance with a strategy  
            that supports the deployment of an effective and efficient  
            hydrogen fueling station network.  

          4)Authorizes CEC, in consultation with ARB, to cease ARFTVP  
            funding for hydrogen fueling stations upon a determination  
            that the private sector is providing them.  

          5)Requires CEC and ARB, on or before December 31, 2015, and  
            annually thereafter, to jointly review and report on progress  
            toward establishing a hydrogen fueling network that provides  
            coverage and capacity to fuel hydrogen-fueled vehicles in the  
            state.  

          6)Authorizes CEC to design grants, loan incentive programs and  
            other forms of financial assistance to assist in deployment of  
            hydrogen fueling infrastructure as rapidly as possible.   
            Authorizes CEC to enter into agreements with the State  
            Treasurer's Office for financial assistance.  

          7)Specifies that the funds appropriated for hydrogen  
            infrastructure shall be available for encumbrance by CEC for  
            up to four years from the date of appropriation and available  
            for liquidation up to four years after the encumbrance  
            expiration.  

          8)Requires ARB, in consultation with air districts, to convene  
            working groups to evaluate the policies and goals of the Carl  
            Moyer Program, no later than July 1, 2013.  

          9)Defines "project" to mean a category of investments identified  
            for potential AQIP funding by ARB, including, but not limited  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  4

            to, competitive grants, revolving loans, loan guarantees,  
            loans, vouchers, rebates, and other appropriate funding  
            measures for specific vehicles, equipment, technologies, or  
            initiatives.  

          10)Requires that the ARFVTP and the AQIP incorporate a  
            benefit-cost score preference that reflects the expected  
            greenhouse gas or criteria pollutant emission reduction per  
            dollar awarded expected, when selecting projects on a  
            competitive basis.  

          11)Requires CEC and ARB to ensure that revenues from specified  
            fees imposed on vehicles that are used for purposes of the  
            ARFVTP and AQIP are expended in compliance with Section 3 of  
            Article XIX of the California Constitution.  

          12)Specifies that consumer incentives for light-duty vehicles  
            shall not be greater than compensations given to consumers  
            under the Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program (EFMP).  

          13)Adds intelligent transportation systems as a category of  
            projects eligible for funding under the ARFVTP.  

          14)Extends the authorization to fund projects reducing oxides of  
            nitrogen, particulate matter, and reactive organic gasses  
            under the Carl Moyer Program, until January 1, 2024.  

          15)Declares the bill as an urgency measure.  

           EXISTING LAW  :  

          1)Pursuant to AB 118 (Nunez), Chapter 750, Statutes of 2007,  
            establishes various programs to help implement the state's AB  
            32 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals:  

             a)   The EFMP, under which ARB, in consultation with the BAR,  
               permanently removes cars and small trucks from operation  
               due to the voluntary retirement of the vehicle by their  
               owners.  The program is funded through a $1 increase in the  
               annual vehicle registration fee that is set to expire  
               January 1, 2015.  

             b)   The ARFVTP, administered by CEC to provide incentives to  
               accelerate the development and deployment of clean,  
               efficient, low carbon alternative fuels and technologies.   








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  5

               The program is funded through increases in vehicle  
               registration fees, smog abatement fees, boat registration  
               fees, and special identification plate fees, plus $10  
               million annually in perpetuity from the Public Interest  
               Research, Development, and Demonstration Fund, which is  
               derived from a portion of electric utility rates.  With the  
               exception of the funds from the electric utilities, the  
               authority to collect the fees expires on January 1, 2015.  

             c)   The AQIP, administered by ARB in consultation with local  
               air districts, funds projects that reduce criteria air  
               pollutants, improve air quality, and provide research for  
               alternative fuels and vehicles, vessels, and equipment  
               technologies.  The program is funded by increases in smog  
               abatement fees, boat registration fees, and special  
               identification plate fees scheduled to expire January 1,  
               2015.  

          2)Expands the Carl Moyer Program, pursuant to AB 923 (Firebaugh)  
            Chapter 707, Statutes of 2004, to cover additional pollutants  
            and engines, imposes a $1.00 fee on tire sales to fund the  
            Carl Moyer Program and the California Department of Resources  
            Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), and establishes air  
            quality improvement programs through local air districts.  All  
            of its provisions sunset on January 1, 2015.  

          3)Establishes the Carl Moyer Program as administered by ARB that  
            funds the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required vehicles,  
            engines, and equipment.  The primary objective of the program  
            is to achieve air quality emission reductions that would not  
            otherwise occur through regulations or other legal mandates.   
            SB 1107 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee) Chapter 230,  
            Statutes of 2004, adjusted the smog abatement fee from $6 to  
            $12.  The additional fee is directed to fund the Carl Moyer  
            Program, securing up to $60 million in annual funding for the  
            program.  This legislation and the funding source provided by  
            it does not have a sunset date.

          4)Requires ARB to adopt regulations that achieve the maximum  
            feasible and cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas  
            emissions from motor vehicles, pursuant to AB 1493 (Pavley),    
            Chapter 200, Statutes of 2002.  

          5)Requires CEC and ARB to adopt a state plan to increase the use  
            of alternative transportation fuels, including setting  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  6

            alternative fuel goals for 2012, 2017 and 2022, pursuant to AB  
            1007, (Pavley), Chapter 371, Statutes of 2005.  The "AB 1007  
            State Alternative Fuels Plan, December 2007" recommended goals  
            for alternative fuel use of 9% by 2012, 11% by 2017, and 26%  
            by 2022.  

          6)Requires that all hydrogen used for transportation fuel in the  
            state must be at least 33.3% from renewable sources, pursuant  
            to SB 1505 (A. Lowenthal) Chapter 877, Statutes of 2006.    

          7)Requires ARB to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions  
            limit equivalent to 1990 levels by 2020 pursuant to AB 32.  In  
            2009, ARB adopted a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) regulation  
            pursuant to AB 32.  The LCFS requires a reduction in the  
            carbon intensity of California's transportation fuels by at  
            least 10% by 2020.  

          8)Pursuant to ARB 's Clean Fuels Outlet regulations, requires  
            certain owners and lessors of retail gasoline stations to  
            equip an appropriate number of their stations with clean  
            alternative fuels.  ARB's recent amendments to the regulations  
            focused primarily on providing outlets for hydrogen fuels. 

          9)Restricts, pursuant to Section 3 of Article XIX of the  
            California Constitution, the expenditure of revenues from fees  
            and taxes imposed by the state on vehicles to specified  
            purposes, subject to certain exceptions.  

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, annual revenues of $180 million for various AB 118  
          programs until 2024, of which $20 million be directed for the  
          construction and operation of a hydrogen fueling network for  
          three years in FY 13-14, FY 14-15, and FY 15-16 and up to $20  
          million in the remaining years.  Annual tire fee additional  
          revenue of approximately $26 million for the Carl Moyer Program.  
           Annual costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to the  
          ARB, CEC, and BAR to continue to administer various air quality  
          and alternative fuel programs and associated reporting  
          requirements which will be fully covered by the surcharge  
          extensions.  Annual costs of approximately $225,000 to the Air  
          Pollution Control Fund beginning in 2013 for the evaluation,  
          analysis, review, and reporting aimed to encourage  
          implementation of the state alternative transportation fuels  
          goal.  









                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  7

           COMMENTS  :  California faces significant challenges with air  
          quality.  According to the author, "AB 118 and the Carl Moyer  
          Program are set to sunset on January 1, 2016, and January 1,  
          2015, respectively, just as investments are needed most to meet  
          critical near- and long-term ambient air quality and greenhouse  
          gas reduction requirements."  She contends that these fees are  
          necessary to fund incentive programs that ensure the private  
          sector has a minimum assurance of public funding to  
          commercialize the changes need to transform the state's motor  
          vehicle fleet and fuels mix to meet California's rigorous,  
          unprecedented clean air and climate change goals.  

           Fee and surcharge extensions  :  This bill would extend the sunset  
          dates and the related fees and surcharges of various clean air  
          and alternative fuels and vehicle programs as administered under  
          ARB, CEC, local air districts, and BAR, until January1, 2024.   
          Without the extensions, the temporary fee increases would  
          terminate either January 1, 2015, or January 1, 2016, depending  
          on the authorizing statute.  The author has joined together in a  
          single bill the extension of the various programs originally  
          authorized pursuant to AB 118 and AB 923 and the fees that  
          support them.  

           Background on AB 118, Carl Moyer Program, and related programs  :   
          In 2007, AB 118 established three new programs intended to  
          promote vehicle and fuel technology that reduces air pollution  
          and greenhouse gas emissions statewide.  These programs are the  
          ARFVTP, AQIP, and EFMP (BAR's voluntary vehicle retirement or  
          scrappage program).  For additional information, see the  
          preceding "Existing Law" section.  

          Monies appropriated to the ARFVTP come from temporary increases  
          in smog abatement fees, vehicle registration fees, vessel  
          registration fees and certain other vehicle fees.  According to  
          CEC, $360 million of ARFVTP funds have been awarded to projects  
          such as the construction of electric vehicle charging stations,  
          the deployment of natural gas-powered vehicles and the  
          production of biofuels.  

          AQIP, administered by ARB, provides financial incentives for  
          public and private groups and individuals to adopt smog and  
          diesel particulate pollution reducing technology that  
          concurrently reduces GHG emissions.  Two of AQIP's flagship  
          projects, the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) and the Hybrid  
          and Zero Emissions Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program,  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  8

          represent the program's largest funding commitments.  AQIP also  
          provides incentives for biofuels research, hybrid truck testing,  
          lawn and garden equipment replacement, zero-emission all-terrain  
          agricultural work vehicle rebates, advanced technology  
          demonstration and hybrid off-road equipment pilot projects.  The  
          Legislature appropriates about $30-40 million annually to AQIP.   
          These funds are derived from fees on smog abatement, vehicle  
          registration, vessel registration and specialty identification  
          plates.  Since 2009, ARB has spent approximately $126 million on  
          AQIP programs, with $49.7 million going to CVRP and $64.4  
          million to hybrid and zero emission truck and bus vouchers.  


          The EFMP supplements BAR's vehicle retirement program known as  
          the Consumer Assistance Program.  Through joint administration  
          by local air districts and BAR, eligible consumers may receive  
          financial assistance to voluntarily retire their vehicles and/or  
          replace them with vehicles meeting certain emission and  
          model-year requirements.  During fiscal year 2011-2012,  
          approximately $34 million of EFMP funds were expended for the  
          retirement of 25,741 vehicles.  

          The Carl Moyer Program, established pursuant to AB 1571  
          (Villaraigosa), Chapter 923, Statutes of 1999, is administered  
          by ARB and local air districts.  It funds the incremental cost  
          of cleaner-than-required vehicles, engines, and equipment.  The  
          primary objective of the program is to achieve air quality  
          emission reductions that would not otherwise occur through  
          regulations or other legal mandates.  SB 1107 (Senate Budget and  
          Fiscal Review Committee) Chapter230, Statutes of 2004, adjusted  
          the smog abatement fee from $6 to $12 while extending the  
          newer-vehicle smog check exemption. This additional fee is  
          directed to fund the Carl Moyer Program, securing up to $60  
          million in annual funding for the program.  This legislation  
          (and concomitant fee increase) does not have a sunset date.  

          In 2004, AB 923 expanded the Carl Moyer Program's covered  
          emissions to include reductions in particulate matter and  
          reactive organic gasses.  AB 923 also increased the new tire fee  
          to fund the expansion.  

          ARB's Lower-Emission School Bus Program (LESBP), adopted  
          pursuant to ARB's administrative authority, funds the  
          replacement or retrofitting of old school buses to reduce  
          schoolchildren's exposure to toxic air pollutants.  From the  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  9

          program's inception in 2000 until 2007, the Legislature  
          appropriated over $100 million to the LESBP for the replacement  
          of 600 school buses and the retrofitting of about 3,800 diesel  
          school bus engines.  After voters passed Proposition 1B in 2006,  
          the LESBP received bond money of approximately $196 million for  
          expenditure until June 30, 2014.  Under the new funding scheme,  
          the program has funded 578 school bus replacements and 2,287  
          retrofits to date.  

          AB 118 and AB 923, however, contained provisions that would  
          sunset the funding sources for the aforementioned programs.   
          Under terms of AB 923, all changes to the LESBP and Carl Moyer  
          Program, from the expansion of covered emissions to the tire fee  
          and registration surcharge increases, will be repealed on  
          January 1, 2015.  Meanwhile under AB 118, the fee increases that  
          fund ARFVTP, AQIP, and EFMP are set to expire on January 1,  
          2016.  

          Amendments to the Clean Fuels Outlet Regulation  :  On January 26,  
          2012, ARB considered amendments to the Clean Fuels Outlet  
          regulation as part of its Advanced Clean Cars package.  In order  
          for the amendments to be officially adopted, they were required  
          to be submitted to the Office of Administrative Law within one  
          year of the initial rulemaking notice.  The amendments were  
          intended to ensure that there was sufficient hydrogen fueling  
          infrastructure necessary to meet forecasted fuel cell vehicle  
          deployment.  Under the amendments, this infrastructure would  
          have helped to ensure sufficient availability of hydrogen after  
          fuel cell vehicles had become commercially available (i.e.,  
          large volumes).  In order to meet the infrastructure needs, the  
          amendments would have required that oil refiners assure that  
          hydrogen fueling stations were available to the public once  
          certain triggers were met (10,000 fuel cell vehicles in a  
          regional air basin or 20,000 fuel cell vehicles statewide).  The  
          ARB did not file the amendments with the Office of  
          Administrative Law because, in its view, a better way to achieve  
          the goals of the regulation was developed through legislation,  
          which, they believe, is embodied in this bill.  

          According to ARB, "SB 11 would direct $20 million from the AB  
          118 program for each of the first three years to develop the  
          hydrogen infrastructure.  SB 11 would also authorize additional  
          funding until at least 100 public hydrogen fueling stations are  
          operational in California.  The dedication of funding for 100  
          hydrogen stations in lieu of requiring the development of such  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  10

          stations administratively as was considered through the Clean  
          Fuels Outlet regulation provides a stronger, more certain path  
          to achieving the state's air quality and climate change goals.   
          Guaranteeing funding for infrastructure upfront will support the  
          initial commercial launch of vehicles, which is in advance of  
          the triggers as was proposed in the regulation.  By contrast,  
          the regulation would have only provided for hydrogen fueling  
          stations after a significant volume of vehicles were on the  
          road."  Furthermore, ARB contends that adequate funding for  
          hydrogen stations effectively achieves the goal of that proposed  
          regulation, therefore rendering those regulatory changes  
          unnecessary.   As a result, this bill also repeals the authority  
          of ARB, until January 1, 2024, from enforcing any element of the  
          Clean Fuels Outlet regulation that requires, or has the effect  
          of requiring, any person to construct, operate, or provide  
          funding for the construction or operation of any publicly  
          available hydrogen fueling station.

          The Sierra Club California objects to the repeal of ARB's  
          authority of enforcing any element of the Clean Fuels Outlet  
          regulation and contends that it "undermines the integrity of the  
          rulemaking process?It suggests that, if one of the regulated  
          entities is dissatisfied with the outcome, that entity can march  
          over to the Capitol and get the Legislature to simply throw out  
          the rule?"  
      
          In response, ARB contends that the bill provides greater  
          certainty that the minimum fueling infrastructure will be in  
          place to support the initial commercial launch of fuel cell  
          vehicles, which are necessary for achieving the state's  
          long-term air quality and climate change goals.  Furthermore,  
          the amendments to the regulation were controversial and would  
          have been litigated, potentially delaying their implementation.   
          They believe that the bill represents a collaboration among  
          stakeholders and is a more certain and productive way to achieve  
          the goals of the proposed regulation amendments.  

           The need for hydrogen fueling stations  :  This bill requires CEC  
          to fund enough hydrogen stations to make fueling convenient to  
          the owners of hydrogen vehicles or until the private sector  
          takes over building and operating stations.  According to CEC,  
          it currently costs about $1.5 million to construct a hydrogen  
          fueling station.  Currently, CEC requires a match of non-state  
          funds, so it provides about $1 million per station.  For  
          start-up funding for installation of a preliminary hydrogen  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  11

          fueling network, this bill directs $20 million per year for  
          three years plus additional revenues as necessary until there  
          are at least 100 hydrogen fueling stations operational.  

          It is ARB's contention that transitioning the vehicle fleet to  
          lower carbon intensity and zero emission fueling technologies  
          requires a portfolio of investments in a variety of fueling and  
          vehicle technologies to achieve near- and long-term goals.  They  
          further contend that the bill provides parity to hydrogen when  
          compared to other alternative fueling technologies, and it does  
          so at a critical period in the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell  
          vehicles.  They express that "The auto manufacturers have  
          committed to an initial commercial launch of fuel cell vehicles  
          beginning in 2015 and it is critical that a minimum network of  
          hydrogen fueling stations is in place to support those vehicles.  
           Without the deployment of early stations, consumers will not  
          have confidence that fuel will be available, undermining demand  
          for these vehicles.  The auto manufacturers have collectively  
          invested several billions of dollars in this important zero  
          emission technology.  Only a dedicated, multi-year funding  
          stream will provide the necessary certainty that the fueling  
          infrastructure will be available."   

           Article XIX of the California Constitution  :  The California  
          Constitution requires that revenues from fees and taxes imposed  
          by the state on vehicles and their use or operation can only be  
          used for certain purposes, including:  

          1)Collection of these fees and taxes;  

          2)Motor vehicle and traffic law administration and enforcement;   


          3)Research, planning, construction, maintenance, operation, and  
            environmental mitigation of streets and roads;  

          4)Research, planning, construction, improvement, and mitigation  
            of environmental impacts of exclusive mass transit guideways;   
            and,

          5)Mitigating the environmental effects of motor vehicle sound  
            and air emissions.  

          When the Legislature passed AB 118 in 2007, it funded the  
          programs with increases in fees paid to register a motor  








                                                                  SB 11
                                                                  Page  12

          vehicle, as well as utility ratepayer (electric utility charges  
          to fund research), and surcharges on boat registration fees.   
          The vehicle fees, however, are the only ones subject to the  
          constraints in Article XIX above.  Now the specified utility  
          ratepayer funds no longer exist due to changes in law and the  
          boat registration fees have proved to be a very small revenue  
          source (approximately $300,000 per year).  This bill updates the  
          AB 118 statute to reflect that virtually all expenditures made  
          of AB 118 funds by either CEC or ARB comply with these  
          constitutional spending restrictions.  

           Support  :  Writing in support of this bill, the proponents note  
          that the bill would provide the necessary funding for hydrogen  
          fueling infrastructure to support commercial fuel cell vehicle  
          deployment in California beginning in 2015.  Fuel cell vehicles,  
          in addition to other advanced clean vehicles, are necessary to  
          meet federal and state clean air standards, AB 32 goals and to  
          increase energy security.  They further cite that the existing  
          programs "have already resulted in significant air quality and  
          public health benefits, supported advances in clean  
          transportation."  

           Oppose  :  Writing in opposition to this bill, as indicated  
          earlier in the discussion of the Clean Fuels Outlet regulation,  
          the Sierra Club California contends that the bill could set a  
          dangerous precedent by prohibiting ARB from implementing and  
          enforcing the regulation.  They urge that the bill be amended to  
          remove the prohibition language so that ARB's rulemaking  
          authority will not be abrogated.  

          Also, in opposition to the bill, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers  
          Association indicates that the tax increase will prove to be  
          extremely regressive for California drivers.  They also contend  
          that the Legislature is "breaking another promise as these fees  
          were supposed to sunset at the end of 2014, not be extended for  
          another nine years."  

           Related bills  :  AB 8 (Perea) of 2013, a similar bill.  That bill  
          passed the Assembly Floor and is awaiting assignment in the  
          Senate.  At some point in the legislative process, SB 11 and AB  
          8 may need to be reconciled.  

          SB 1455 (Kehoe) of 2012, a similar bill introduced last session  
          that passed the Assembly but died in the final moments of the  
          prior legislative session.
