	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2741, Salas. Long-range transportation planning: California
Transportation Plan.
   Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to complete
the first update of the California Transportation Plan by December
31, 2015, and to update the plan every 5 years thereafter. Existing
law requires the California Transportation Commission to review the
plan and make certain recommendations. Existing law requires the
Governor to adopt the plan and to submit it to the Legislature and
the United States Secretary of Transportation.
   This bill, beginning in 2020, would require updates to the plan to
be approved by the commission prior to submission to the Legislature
and the Governor. The bill would require the department to submit a
draft of its proposed update to the commission for its comments by
June 30, 2020, and every 5 years thereafter. The bill, if the
commission does not approve an updated plan, would require the
department to revise its proposed update in consultation with the
commission. The bill would make other conforming changes.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 65071 of the Government Code is amended to

The first update shall be completed by December 31, 2015.
   (b) Beginning with the 2020 update, the department shall submit
the updated plan to the California Transportation Commission for its

the commission for its comments by June 30, 2020, and every five
years thereafter.
   (c) If the commission does not approve an updated plan, the
department shall revise its proposed update in consultation with the
commission.
  SEC. 2.  Section 65073 of the Government Code is amended to read:
   65073.  The department shall also consult with, coordinate its
activities with, and make a draft of its proposed updated plan

Board, the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development
Commission, the air quality management districts, public transit
operators, and the regional transportation planning agencies for

for input by the general public. Prior to approving the updated plan
pursuant to Section 65071, the commission shall make a final draft
available to the Legislature and Governor for review and comment.
Upon approval of the updated plan by the commission, the Governor
shall adopt the updated plan and submit it to the Legislature and the
