An act to repeal Section 100.4 of the Streets and Highways Code,
relating to transportation, and declaring the urgency thereof, to
take effect immediately.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 751, Cedillo. Freeway construction.
Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to enter
into an agreement prior to any closure of a city street or county
highway due to construction of a freeway with a city council or board
of supervisors having jurisdiction. Existing law provides an
exception to those provisions for a freeway segment within the
jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority, if specified requirements have been met, including that an
agreement with one or more counties and cities is not possible
because an impasse has existed for 10 or more years after an initial
route was adopted. Existing law requires the department to prepare an
environmental impact report and establish an outreach program, as
specified, for any freeway constructed pursuant to this exception.
This bill would repeal these provisions establishing an exception
for a freeway segment to be constructed without an agreement within
the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 100.4 of the Streets and Highways Code is
repealed.
SEC. 2. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order to repeal certain requirements relating to freeway
construction and facilitate other opportunities as quickly as
possible, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
