INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bill Berryhill

   An act to add Section 14528 to the Government Code, relating to
streets and highways.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 286, as amended, Bill Berryhill. State highways: Routes 108 and
120.
   Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has
full possession and control of the state highway system and
associated property. Existing law generally provides for the
department to dispose of property acquired by the state for highway
purposes if the property is no longer needed for those purposes upon
terms, standards, and conditions established by the California
Transportation Commission. However, existing law, with respect to
excess properties acquired for specified highway routes, requires the
commission to allocate net proceeds from the sale of those
properties to alternative transportation projects.
   This bill would, on and after July 1, 2013, require the proceeds
from the sale of excess properties acquired by the department for
improvements to State Highway Route 120  , less any
reimbursements due to the federal   government and all costs
incurred in the sale of those excess properties,  to be used
for improvements to  the  State Highway Route 108 in
Stanislaus County, the North County Corridor. The bill would require
the department to deposit the sale proceeds in a special account in
the Special Deposit Fund  ,  and would require that
interest earnings from funds in that special account accrue to the
account. The bill would require the commission to program the funds
in the special account to any phase of the North County Corridor
 ,  and, upon appropriation by the Legislature,
would authorize the commission to allocate the funds to the
Stanislaus Council of Governments or any agency designated by that
entity to deliver the North County Corridor.
   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.  Section 14528 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   14528.  On and after July 1, 2013, the proceeds from the sale of
excess properties acquired by the department for improvements to
State Highway Route 120  , less any reimbursements due to the
federal government and all costs incurred in the sale of those excess
properties,  shall be used for improvements to State Highway
Route 108 in Stanislaus County, the North County Corridor. The
department shall deposit the sale proceeds in a special account,
which is hereby created, in the Special Deposit Fund pursuant to
Article 2 (commencing with Section 16370) of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of
Division 4. Interest earnings from funds in that special account
shall accrue to the account. The commission shall program the funds
in the special account to any phase of the North County Corridor.
Upon appropriation by the Legislature, the commission may allocate
the funds to the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) or any
agency designated by StanCOG to deliver the North County Corridor.
Notwithstanding Section 16370, the funds in the special account are
not continuously appropriated.
