LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1610, as amended, Committee on Budget. begin delete Budget Act of 2016. end delete begin insert Transportation. end insert

begin insert

Existing law authorizes the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank to sell specified portions of compact assets, defined as moneys required to be paid to the state under specified provisions of designated tribal compacts and the state’s rights to receive those payments, to a special purpose trust, which may issue bonds that are secured against those assets. The net proceeds of the sale of the compact assets are required to be deposited into certain transportation funds in a specified order. Existing law requires that when the amounts described in those provisions have been paid to the transportation funds named, the revenues received by the state from the tribal compacts are required to be remitted to the California Gambling Control Commission for deposit in the General Fund.

end insert begin insert

This bill would instead provide that after the amounts described have been fully paid to the transportation funds named, or in any year during which any portion of these amounts are repaid from the General Fund pursuant to specified provisions of the California Constitution in an amount greater than or equal to the amount of tribal gaming revenues remitted pursuant to the amended tribal compacts in that year, the revenues received by the state from the compact would be required to be remitted to the California Gambling Control Commission for deposit in the General Fund.

end insert begin insert

Existing law requires the Secretary of State and the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish the California New Motor Voter Program for the purpose of increasing opportunities for voter registration by any person who is qualified to be a voter, as specified.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to pilot and evaluate a process to register voters pursuant to the program to assist persons who do not fully complete the voter registration process. The bill would require the department to report on October 15, 2016, to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, on the outcome of the pilot, other process changes proposed to ensure the full completion of voter registration, and an evaluation of options for ensuring persons have the opportunity to fully complete the voter registration process, including adding information technology equipment or fully automating forms. The bill would also require the department to notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee by September 1, 2016, if it is unable to implement the pilot process change for any reason. The bill would additionally appropriate the sum of $3,888,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Motor Vehicles to implement the California New Motor Voter Program.

end insert begin insert

Existing law requires the transfer of a specified portion of the sales tax on diesel fuel, in addition to various other revenues, to the Public Transportation Account, a trust fund in the State Transportation Fund. A portion of those revenues are restricted by Article XIX A of the California Constitution. Existing law continuously appropriates those revenues to the Controller for allocation to local transportation agencies for public transportation purposes, pursuant to a program commonly known as the State Transit Assistance program. Existing law requires those funds to be allocated by formulas based 50% on population and 50% on transit operator revenues. Existing law requires the transit operator-based funds to be allocated to each local transportation agency based on the ratio of the total revenue of all the operators and the member agencies of the Altamont Commuter Express Authority and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority in the area under their respective jurisdictions during the prior fiscal year to the total revenue of all the operators in the state and the member agencies of the Altamont Commuter Express Authority and the member agencies of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority during the prior fiscal year.

end insert begin insert

This bill would require the Controller to calculate and publish the allocation of transit operator-based funds made pursuant to the State Transit Assistance program for the 3rd and 4th quarters of the 2015-16 fiscal year and for all 4 quarters of the 2016-17 and 2017-18 fiscal years based on the same list of operators and the same individual operator ratios published by the Controller in a specified transmittal memo for the 4th quarter for the 2014-15 fiscal year. The bill would authorize each transportation planning agency and county transportation commission, and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board to apply the ratios calculated for the 3rd quarter of the 2015-16 fiscal year to any undistributed funds remaining from the first and 2nd quarters of the 2015-16 fiscal year.

end insert begin insert

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to charge a registration fee of $43 on every vehicle or trailer coach, as specified, registered on or after July 1, 2011. Existing law authorizes the department to adjust specified fees every January 1 by increasing the fee by an amount equal to the increase in the California Consumer Price Index for the prior year.

end insert begin insert

This bill would provide that the $43 fee applies to registrations until April 1, 2017. The bill would require the department to charge a registration fee of $53 on every vehicle or trailer coach, as specified, that is registered on or after April 1, 2017. The bill would apply the annual fee increase provisions described above to the $53 registration fee. The bill would delete obsolete language pertaining to registration fees and make other conforming and technical, nonsubstantive changes.

end insert begin insert

Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue and renew driver’s licenses and identification cards, including senior citizen identification cards. Existing law requires senior citizen identification cards to expire on the 10th birthday of the applicant for the card following the date of application. The existing federal Real ID Act requires specified security requirements to be met in order for a state’s driver’s licenses and identification cards to be accepted for certain official purposes.

end insert begin insert

This bill would, on and after January 1, 2018, prohibit the department from issuing a driver’s license or identification card that is in compliance with the requirements of the Real ID Act to a person who possesses a driver’s license or identification card in compliance with the Real ID Act. The bill would authorize the department to cancel a driver’s license or identification card for the purpose of ensuring that a person does not have both a driver’s license and identification card. The bill would additionally on and after January 1, 2018, require a senior citizen identification cards to expire on the 8th birthday of the applicant for the card following the date of application.

end insert begin insert

Existing federal law requires a motor carrier, as defined, to file an application form with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to obtain a United States Department of Transportation number before beginning operations and every 24 months, as specified.

end insert begin insert

Existing law requires, except as specified, a motor carrier, motor carrier of property, and for-hire motor carrier of property to obtain a carrier identification number from the Department of the California Highway Patrol and requires the carrier identification number to be displayed on both sides of each vehicle or on both sides of at least one motor vehicle in each combination of specified vehicles. A violation of the Vehicle Code is punishable as an infraction.

end insert begin insert

This bill would authorize the Department of the California Highway Patrol to furnish the application form for a carrier identification number on its Internet Web site and require electronic submission of the form. The bill would also require a motor carrier required to obtain a carrier identification number to first obtain a United States Department of Transportation number before submitting an application for a carrier identification number. The bill would require a motor carrier required to obtain a carrier identification number to ensure information on its application form is updated, as specified, and is true and accurate. Because a violation of the Vehicle Code is punishable as an infraction, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert begin insert

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

end insert begin insert

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

end insert begin insert

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.

amended to read: end insert

63048.65.  

(a) Upon a filing by the Director of Finance with
the bank of a list of designated tribal compacts and the specific
portions of the compact assets to be sold, the bank may sell for,
and on behalf of, the state, solely as its agent, those specific
portions of the compact assets to a special purpose trust. To that
end, a special purpose trust is hereby established as a not-for-profit
corporation solely for that purpose and for the purposes necessarily
incidental thereto. The bank may enter into one or more sales
agreements with the special purpose trust on terms it deems
appropriate, which may include covenants of, and binding on, the
state necessary to establish and maintain the security of the bonds
and exemption of interest on the bonds from federal income
taxation. The portion of the compact assets to be sold shall be an
amount or amounts determined by the Director of Finance that are
necessary to provide the state with net proceeds of the sale, not to
exceed one billion five hundred million dollars ($1,500,000,000),
exclusive of capitalized interest on the bonds and any costs incurred
by the bank or the special purpose trust in implementing this article,
including, but not limited to, the cost of financing one or more
reserve funds, any credit enhancements, costs incurred in the
issuance of bonds, and operating expenses. Those specific portions
of the compact assets may be sold at one time or from time to time.

(b) The special purpose trust may issue bonds, including, but
not limited to, refunding bonds, on the terms it shall determine,
and do all things contemplated by, and authorized by, this division
with respect to the bank, and enjoy all rights, privileges, and
immunities the bank enjoys pursuant to this division, or as
authorized by Section 5140 of the Corporations Code with respect
to public benefit nonprofit corporations, or as necessary or
appropriate in connection with the issuance of bonds, and may
enter into agreements with any public or private entity and pledge
the compact assets that it purchased as collateral and security for
its bonds. However, to the extent of any conflict between any of
the foregoing and the provisions of this article, the provisions of
this article shall control. The pledge of any of these assets and of
any revenues, reserves, and earnings pledged in connection with
these assets shall be valid and binding in accordance with its terms
from the time the pledge is made, and amounts so pledged and
thereafter received shall immediately be subject to the lien of the
pledge without the need for physical delivery, recordation, filing,
or other further act. The special purpose trust, and its assets and
income, and bonds issued by the special purpose trust, and their
transfer and the income therefrom, shall be exempt from all
taxation by the state and by its political subdivisions.

(c) (1) The net proceeds of the sale of compact assets by the
bank shall be deposited in the following order:

(A) One billion two hundred million dollars ($1,200,000,000)
plus any interest due pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c)
of Section 14556.8, to the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund for the
purpose of funding or reimbursing the cost of projects, programs,
and activities permitted and necessary to be funded by that fund
in accordance with applicable law, and to repay loans made from
the State Highway Account and the Public Transportation Account
to the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund pursuant to Section 14556.8,
in the following priority order:

(i) Transfer of four hundred forty-three million dollars
($443,000,000) plus any interest due pursuant to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (c) of Section 14556.8, to the State Highway Account
for project expenditures.

(ii) Two hundred ninety million dollars ($290,000,000) for
allocation to Traffic Congestion Relief Program projects.

(iii) Two hundred seventy-five million dollars ($275,000,000)
to the Public Transportation Account for project expenditures.

(iv) All remaining funds for allocation to Traffic Congestion
Relief Program projects.

(B) To the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund, an amount
up to the outstanding amount of the suspension of the 2004-05
fiscal year transfer of the sales tax on gasoline to the Transportation
Investment Fund pursuant to requirements of Article XIX B of the
California Constitution.

(C) To the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund, an amount
up to the outstanding amount of the suspension of the 2003-04
fiscal year transfer of the sales tax on gasoline to the Transportation
Investment Fund pursuant to requirements of Article XIX B of the
California Constitution.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if and to the extent it is
necessary to ensure to the maximum extent practicable the
eligibility for exclusion from taxation under the federal Internal
Revenue Code of interest on the bonds to be issued by the special
purpose trust, the Director of Finance may adjust the application
of proceeds not eligible for exclusion from taxation among the
authorized funds described in paragraph (1). The Department of
Finance shall submit a report to the Legislature describing any
proposed changes among the authorized funds in paragraph (1),
and consistent with this paragraph, at least 30 days prior to issuing
the bonds pursuant to this article. Amounts deposited in the Traffic
Congestion Relief Fund pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be applied
as a credit to transfers from the General Fund that the Controller
would otherwise be required to make to that fund. Amounts
deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund shall
be expended in conformance with Sections 7105 and 7106 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, and the amounts so deposited shall
also be applied as a credit to the transfers from the General Fund
that the Controller would otherwise be required to make under
those sections. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
deposits and credits described in this subdivision do not constitute
the use of the proceeds of bonds or other indebtedness to pay a
yearend State Budget deficit as prohibited by subdivision (c) of
Section 1.3 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. Subject
to any constitutional limitation, the use and application of the
proceeds of any sale of compact assets or bonds shall not in any
way affect the legality or validity of that sale or those bonds.

(d) Funds received from amended tribal-state compacts, or new
compacts entered into and ratified on or after the effective date of

or the comparable section in new compacts, as specified in those
compacts, that are neither sold to the special purpose trust nor

Control Commission for deposit in the General Fund.

compacts entered into and ratified on or after the effective date of

compacts, shall be held in an account within the Special Deposit
Fund until those funds are sold or otherwise applied pursuant to
this subdivision. From time to time, at the direction of the Director
of Finance, any moneys in this account shall be deposited and
applied in accordance with subdivision (c) or shall be deemed to
be compact assets for purposes of sale to the special purpose trust
pursuant to this article. If the Director of Finance determines that
the bonds authorized pursuant to this article cannot be successfully
issued by the special purpose trust, funds within the account shall
be deposited in accordance with subdivision (c). In addition, all
subsequent revenues remitted pursuant to Section 4.3.3 of the
amended compacts, or the comparable section in new compacts,
as specified in those compacts, and funds received as a result of
the state’s acquisition of an ownership interest in any residual

of the state, with the Secretary of State by the bank. The members
of the board of directors of the bank as of the effective date of this
article, the Director of the Department of Transportation, and the
Director of General Services, shall each serve ex officio as the
directors of the special purpose trust. Any of these directors may

special purpose trust. The Director of Finance or his or her designee
shall serve as chair of the special purpose trust. Directors of the
