	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 461, as amended, Hernandez.  Toll bridges and
facilities: funds.   State Highway Route 164:
relinquishment.  
   Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has
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 the portion
of State Highway Route 164 from Gallatin Road near Pico Rivera to
the southern city limits of South El Monte in the vicinity of Rush
Street in the County of Los Angeles to that county, under specified
conditions.  
   Existing law, the California Toll Bridge Authority Act, makes the
California Transportation Commission, together with the Department of
Transportation, responsible for building and acquiring toll
facilities and related transportation facilities. Under existing law,
all tolls or other revenue received from the operation of toll
bridges and related facilities that were acquired or constructed with
bond funding are deposited into a special fund designated for the
particular toll bridge or facility that produced the toll or revenue.
 
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision
specifying deposit of this particular revenue into the designated
special fund. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
