An act relating to transportation.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 425, as amended, Hernandez. City of El Monte: maintenance of
effort: streets and roads allocations.
Existing law imposes a maintenance of effort requirement on cities
and counties with respect to receipt of streets and roads funds from
gasoline sales tax revenues in the Transportation Investment Fund.
Under the maintenance of effort requirement applicable to this
now-repealed source of revenues, a city or county was required to
maintain annual streets and roads expenditures from its general fund
equal to the annual average of its expenditures from that source
during the 1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99 fiscal years. If a city or
county failed to comply with the maintenance of effort requirement in
a particular fiscal year, existing law provided that it could
alternatively comply by expending in that year and the following
fiscal year a combined total amount that is not less than the amount
otherwise required to be expended in the 2 fiscal years. Existing law
provides specified exceptions to the maintenance of effort
requirement for the County of Fresno and the City of Santa Rosa.
This bill would give the City of El Monte until December
31, 2019, June 30, 2021, to meet the maintenance
of effort requirement for receipt of streets and roads funds from the
Transportation Investment Fund for any fiscal year between 2006-07
and 2010-11, inclusive.
The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the City of El Monte.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (f) of Section 7104.2
of the Revenue and Taxation Code or any other provision of law, the
City of El Monte shall have until December 31, 2019,
June 30, 2021, to meet the maintenance of effort
requirement applicable to cities in order to receive a streets and
roads allocation from the Transportation Investment Fund for any
fiscal year between 2006-07 and 2010-11, inclusive.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique transportation funding needs in the City of El
Monte.
