 BILL NUMBER: AB 227AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY JANUARY 4, 2016 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 15, 2015 INTRODUCED BY Assembly  Members   Alejo     and Perea   Member   Alejo   (   Coauthor:  Assembly Member   Linder   )  FEBRUARY 3, 2015  An act to amend Sections 16773, 16965.1, and 63048.67 of, to add Section 16321 to, and to repeal Section 16965 of, the Government Code, to amend Sections 183.1 and 2103 of the Streets and Highways Code, and to amend Sections 9400.1 and 42205 of, and to repeal Section 9400.4 of, the Vehicle Code, relating to transportation, and making an appropriation therefor.   An act to amend Section 25218.5 of the Health and Safety Code,   relating to hazardous waste.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 227, as amended, Alejo.  Transportation funding.   Household hazardous waste: transportation manifest.   Existing law requires, on or before December 31, 2019, public agencies and their contractors that transport household hazardous waste to a hazardous waste facility to use certain consolidated manifesting procedures. Existing law establishes volumetric and weight limits on the amount of hazardous waste that a conditionally exempt small quantity generator may transport to a household hazardous waste collection facility. Existing law expresses the weight limit in 2 alternative measures.   This bill would extend the consolidated manifesting procedures requirement to December 31, 2020. Because the bill would extend this requirement, thereby extending local agencies' obligation to comply with this requirement, and because a violation of this requirement would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would also eliminate one of the alternative weight measures.   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.   (1) Existing law provides for loans of revenues from various transportation funds and accounts to the General Fund, with various repayment dates specified.   This bill, with respect to any loans made to the General Fund from specified transportation funds and accounts with a repayment date of January 1, 2019, or later, would require the loans to be repaid by December 31, 2018.   (2) Existing law imposes weight fees on the registration of commercial motor vehicles and provides for the deposit of net weight fee revenues into the State Highway Account. Existing law provides for the transfer of certain weight fee revenues from the State Highway Account to the Transportation Debt Service Fund to reimburse the General Fund for payment of debt service on general obligation bonds issued for transportation purposes. Existing law also provides for the transfer of certain weight fee revenues to the transportation Bond Direct Payment Account for direct payment of debt service on designated bonds, which are defined to be certain transportation general obligation bonds issued pursuant to Proposition 1B of 2006. Existing law also provides for loans of weight fee revenues to the General Fund to the extent the revenues are not needed for bond debt service purposes, with the loans to be repaid when the revenues are later needed for those purposes, as specified.   This bill would repeal these provisions, thereby retaining the weight fee revenues in the State Highway Account. The bill would make other conforming changes in that regard.   (3) Existing law provides for the deposit of fuel excise tax revenues imposed by the state on fuels used in motor vehicles upon public streets and highways in the Highway Users Tax Account, and appropriates those revenues to various purposes. Existing law, with respect to the portion of these revenues that is derived from increases in the motor vehicle fuel excise tax in 2010, requires an allocation of revenues to reimburse the State Highway Account for the amount of weight fee revenues that the State Highway Account is not receiving due to use of weight fee revenues to pay debt service on transportation general obligation bonds and to make certain loans to the General Fund, with the remaining amount of this portion of revenues allocated 44% to the State Transportation Improvement Program, 12% to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and 44% to city and county streets and roads.   This bill would delete the provisions relating to the reimbursement of the State Highway Account for weight fee revenues and relating to the making of loans to the General Fund, thereby providing for the portion of fuel excise tax revenues that is derived from increases in the motor vehicle fuel excise tax in 2010 to be allocated 44% to the State Transportation Improvement Program, 12% to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and 44% to city and county streets and roads. The bill would thereby make an appropriation.   (4) Existing law requires certain revenues deposited in the State Highway Account that are not restricted as to expenditure by Article XIX of the California Constitution to be transferred to the Transportation Debt Service Fund in the State Transportation Fund, as specified, and continuously appropriates these funds for payment of current year debt service on certain mass transportation bonds.   This bill would delete the requirement to transfer these revenues to the Transportation Debt Service Fund, thereby providing for these revenues to be used for any transportation purpose authorized by statute, upon appropriation by the Legislature.
