LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 788, as amended, Committee on Transportation and Housing. Transportation.

(1) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment, or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. Existing law exempts certain activities from CEQA, including a project for the institution or increase of passenger or commuter services on rail or highway rights-of-way already in use, including modernization of existing stations and parking facilities.

This bill would define the term “highway” for these purposes.

(2) Existing law requires that on July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate of the retail sales tax per gallon for aircraft jet fuel, rounded to the nearest $0.005, be established by the State Board of Equalization based upon 80% of the combined state and local sales tax rate, as specified, on the arithmetic average selling price, excluding sales and state excise taxes, as determined by the board. Existing law requires the board to make its determination of the rate no later than March 1 of the year prior to the effective date of the new rate. Existing law requires that immediately upon making its determination and setting of the rate, the board must each year, no later than May 1, notify every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of aircraft jet fuel. Existing law permits the board to readjust the rate 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.

This bill would revise the provision that requires the board to make its determination of the rate no later than March 1 of the year prior to the effective date of the new rate, and instead would require this determination to be made no later than March 1 of the same year as the effective date of the new rate.begin insert The bill would make other conforming changes.end insert

(3) Existing law gives the Department of Transportation full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local agencies.

This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish portions of State Highway Routes 68, 74, and 86 to local agencies under certain conditions. This bill would also authorize the commission to relinquish a portion of State Highway Route 25 in the City of Hollister to that city prior to relocation of that route to a proposed new easterly bypass alignment, under certain conditions, and would thereafter require the commission to adopt the new bypass alignment into the state highway system, as specified. This bill wouldbegin delete require all of these relinquishments to be done at no cost to the state, unless the commission makes a finding of needend deletebegin insert revise the descriptions of certain authorized state highway routes to reflect implementation of previously-authorized relinquishments. This bill would repeal an existing requirement that the City of Auburn ensure the continuity of traffic flow, including any traffic signal progression, on a formerend insertbegin insert portion of State Highway Route 49 previously relinquished to it. The bill would make other related changesend insert.

(4) Existing law defines “bikeway” for certain purposes to mean all facilities that provide primarily for bicycle travel. Existing law categorizes bikeways into 3 classes of facilities.

This bill would make various modifications to these provisions.

(5) Existing law defines the terms “loggingbegin delete dolly” andend deletebegin insert dolly,end insertbegin insertend insert “loggingbegin delete vehicle”end deletebegin insert vehicle,” “station wagon,” and “schoolbus accident”end insert for purposes of the Vehicle Code.

This bill would renumberbegin delete these provisionsend deletebegin insert certain of these provisionsend insert and revise thebegin delete definition of “logging dolly.”end deletebegin insert definitions of logging dolly, station wagon, and schoolbus accident.end insert

(6) Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue various specialized license plates, including license plates commemorating the Olympics. Existing law also provides for the issuance of substitute or duplicate Olympic license plates under certain conditions, and for issuance of Olympic plates as environmental license plates with a special series of letters or numbers. Existing law allows an existing holder of Olympic license plates to renew them or transfer them to another vehicle.

This bill would provide that substitute or duplicate Olympic license plates shall not be available beginning on January 1, 2014. The bill would provide for the department to issue regular series plates whenever holders of Olympic plates request substitute or duplicate plates, and, in that regard, would also authorize holders of Olympic plates issued as environmental license plates to apply for other special license plates to be issued with the same combination of letters or numbers as appear on their Olympic plates. The bill would make other conforming changes.

(7) Existing law provides for certain revenues derived from Olympic license plates to be deposited in the California Olympic Training Account in the General Fund. Existing law requires the Controller to annually transfer the moneys in that account to the General Fund.

This bill would instead provide for deposit of those revenues directly into the General Fund.

begin insert

(8) Existing law also authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue specialized license plates for veterans’ associations and to fund child health and safety programs. Existing law requires payment of an additional specified charge for personalization of these plates.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would provide that these specialized license plates are not subject to the payment of another charge generally applicable to personalization of license plates.

end delete

begin insert(9)end insert Existing law prohibits a person from employing, hiring, knowingly permitting, or authorizing any person to drive a motor vehicle owned by him or her or under his or her control upon the highways unless that person is licensed for the appropriate class of vehicle to be driven. Existing law requires that whenever a person fails to qualify, on reexamination, to operate a commercial motor vehicle, an employer shall report that failure to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days. Existing law requires that, until January 30, 2014, if a driver has no medical certification status information in the Commercial Driver License Information System motor vehicle record obtained from the driver’s state licensing agency, the employing motor carrier may accept as proof of medical certification a medical examiner’s certificate issued to that driver prior to January 30, 2012. Existing law, operative January 1, 2014, requires an employer to obtain from a driver required to have a commercial driver’s license or commercial endorsement a copy of the driver’s medical certification before allowing the driver to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Existing law requires the employer to retain the certification as part of a driver qualification file.

This bill would change the provision with an operative date of January 1, 2014, to instead become operative on January 30, 2014.

begin insert

(10) Existing law allows an individual convicted of a traffic offense to attend a traffic violator school course under certain circumstances. Completion of the course results in confidentiality of the conviction on the driving record, except in the case of an individual with a commercial driver’s license, in which case completion of the course results in a nonconfidential conviction with no violation points on the driving record. Existing law requires the courts, in a courtesy notice sent to a driver with a traffic citation, to include specified information on the effect on the driving record of attending a traffic violator school course.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would revise the text of the required courtesy notice to reflect the distinction between noncommercial and commercial driver’s licenses.

16before the lead agency, that the project may have a significant
17effect on the environment.

18(2) An initial study identifies potentially significant effects on

4the lead agency, prior to approving the project, may delete those
5mitigation measures and substitute for them other mitigation
6measures that the lead agency finds, after holding a public hearing
7on the matter, are equivalent or more effective in mitigating
8significant effects on the environment to a less than significant
9level and that do not cause any potentially significant effect on the
10 environment. If those new mitigation measures are made conditions
11of project approval or are otherwise made part of the project
12approval, the deletion of the former measures and the substitution
13of the new mitigation measures shall not constitute an action or
14circumstance requiring recirculation of the mitigated negative
15declaration.

16(g) Nothing in this section shall preclude a project applicant or
17any other person from challenging, in an administrative or judicial
18proceeding, the legality of a condition of project approval imposed
19by the lead agency. If, however, any condition of project approval
20set aside by either an administrative body or court was necessary
21to avoid or lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of a significant
22effect on the environment, the lead agency’s approval of the
23negative declaration and project shall be invalid and a new
24environmental review process shall be conducted before the project
25can be reapproved, unless the lead agency substitutes a new
26condition that the lead agency finds, after holding a public hearing
27on the matter, is equivalent to, or more effective in, lessening or
28avoiding significant effects on the environment and that does not
29cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.

6480.1.  

(a) At any time that motor vehicle fuel tax or diesel
33fuel tax is imposed or would be imposed, but for the dyed diesel
34fuel exemption in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section
3560100, or the train operator exemption in paragraph (7) of
36subdivision (a) of Section 60100 or paragraph (11) of subdivision
37 (a) of Section 7401, or, pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 6480,
38would be deemed to be imposed, on any removal, entry, or sale in
39this state of motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, the
40supplier shall collect prepayment of retail sales tax from the person
P9    1to whom the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel is
2sold. However, if no sale occurs at the time of imposition of motor
3vehicle fuel tax or diesel fuel tax, the supplier shall prepay the
4retail sales tax on that motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel
5fuel. The prepayment required to be collected by the supplier
6constitutes a debt owed by the supplier to this state until paid to
7the board, until satisfactory proof has been submitted to prove that
8the retailer of the fuel has paid the retail sales tax to the board, or
9until a supplier or wholesaler who has consumed the fuel has paid
10the use tax to the board. Each supplier shall report and pay the
11prepayment amounts to the board, in a form as prescribed by the
12board, in the period in which the fuel is sold. On each subsequent
13sale of that fuel, each seller, other than the retailer, shall collect
14from his or her purchaser a prepayment computed using the rate
15applicable at the time of sale. Each supplier shall provide his or
16her purchaser with an invoice for, or other evidence of, the
17collection of the prepayment amounts which shall be separately
18stated thereon.

19(b) (1) A wholesaler shall collect prepayment of the retail sales
20tax from the person to whom the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet
21fuel, or diesel fuel is sold. Each wholesaler shall provide his or
22her purchaser with an invoice for or other evidence of the collection
23of the prepayment amounts, which shall be separately stated
24thereon.

25(2) Each wholesaler shall report to the board, in a form as
26prescribed by the board and for the period in which the motor
27vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel was sold, all of the
28following:

29(A) The number of gallons of fuel sold and the amount of sales
30tax prepayments collected by the wholesaler.

31(B) The number of tax-paid gallons purchased and the amount
32of sales tax prepayments made by the wholesaler.

33(C) In the event that the amount of sales tax prepayments
34collected by the wholesaler is greater than the amount of sales tax
35prepayments made by the wholesaler, then the excess constitutes
36a debt owed by the wholesaler to the state until paid to the board,
37or until satisfactory proof has been submitted that the retailer of
38the fuel has paid the tax to the board.

39(c) A supplier or wholesaler who pays the prepayment and issues
40a resale certificate to the seller, but subsequently consumes the
P10   1motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, shall be entitled
2to a credit against his or her sales and use taxes due and payable
3for the period in which the prepayment was made, provided that
4he or she reports and pays the use tax to the board on the
5consumption of that fuel.

6(d) The amount of a prepayment paid by the retailer or a supplier
7or wholesaler who has consumed the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft
8jet fuel, or diesel fuel to the seller from whom he or she acquired
9the fuel shall constitute a credit against his or her sales and use
10taxes due and payable for the period in which the sale was made.
11Failure of the supplier or wholesaler to report prepayments or the
12supplier’s or wholesaler’s failure to comply with any other duty
13under this article shall not constitute grounds for denial of the
14credit to the retailer, supplier, or wholesaler, either on a temporary
15or permanent basis or otherwise. To be entitled to the credit, the
16retailer, supplier, or wholesaler shall retain for inspection by the
17board any receipts, invoices, or other documents showing the
18amount of sales tax prepaid to his or her supplier, together with
19the evidence of payment.

20(e) The rate of the prepayment required to be collected during
21the period from July 1, 1986, through March 31, 1987, shall be
22four cents ($0.04) per gallon of motor vehicle fuel distributed or
23transferred.

24(f) The rate of prepayment required to be collected for motor
25vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, and diesel fuel as established by the
26board in effect on January 1, 2013, shall remain in effect through
27June 30, 2013.

28(g) On July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
29gallon for motor vehicle fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of
30one cent ($0.005), of the required prepayment shall be established
31by the board based upon 80 percent of the combined state and local
32sales tax rate established by Sections 6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5,

2of fuel decreases or increases or an exemption from sales tax for
3sales of fuel is enacted, and the established rate results in or could
4result in prepayments which consistently exceed or are significantly
5lower than the retailers’ sales tax liability, the board may readjust
6the rate.

7(h) On July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
8gallon for aircraft jet fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one
9cent ($0.005), shall be established by the board based upon 80
10percent of the combined state and local sales tax rate established
