	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 474, Ducheny. Transportation: pilot programs.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to do any
act necessary, convenient, or proper for the construction,
improvement, maintenance, or use of all highways which are under its
jurisdiction. Existing law provides for the California Transportation
Commission to program certain transportation funds for particular
projects, and to report to the Legislature on various transportation
policy matters. Existing law authorizes the department and certain
local agencies to enter into agreements for transportation projects
under pilot programs using public-private partnerships. Existing law
authorizes certain transportation projects under pilot programs using
design-build contracting methods.
   This bill would require the lead agency for a project, prior to
entering into any agreement involving an alternative contracting or
financing method, as specified, to pass a resolution that identifies
the anticipated benefits from using those methods in comparison to
using traditional contracting or financing methods.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

Code.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
