About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

(a) All of the following shall apply to the sale or other disposition of excess property to fund the local alternative transportation improvement program approved pursuant to Section 14528.5: (1) At the time the commission rescinds the freeway adoption previously approved for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project, and the commission approves the local alternative transportation improvement program, the commission shall authorize the department to sell, on an “as is” basis at fair market value, the excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project. However, any properties required for the implementation of the local alternative transportation improvement program shall not be sold. (2) Article 8.5 (commencing with Section 54235) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 does not apply to the sale of excess property pursuant to this section. (3) The disposition of excess property pursuant to this section shall be exempt from Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. Upon title to the parcel vesting in the purchaser or transferee of the property, the purchaser or transferee shall be subject to any local governmental land use entitlement approval requirements and to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code. “Disposition” means the sale, exchange, sale combined with exchange, or transfer of a parcel of excess property. (4) The department shall offer the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of an eligible excess single-family residence located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties, to the residential tenant of that residence if the tenant is in good standing in the residence and has a tenure of two years or more, with all rent obligations current and paid in full. For purposes of this section, “eligible excess single-family residence” means an excess single-family residence determined to be eligible for sale to single-family residential tenants pursuant to the settlement agreement described in subdivision (a) of Section 14528.6. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value. (5) If a residential tenant in single-family residence qualifies for the direct sale as provided for in paragraph (4), and the residential tenant is unable to purchase the single-family residence occupied by the tenant because that single-family residence is ineligible for direct sale, the department declines to allow the direct sale of that single-family residence, the tenant does not qualify for financing for that single-family residence, the condition of the subject single-family residence does not allow financing, or the tenant needs a larger or smaller single-family residence, the department shall offer to the residential tenant the direct sale, “as is” at fair market value, of other available eligible excess single-family residences located on the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project properties. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve any such sale transaction provided the commission determines the sale to be “as is” at fair market value. (6) The department may hire, or cause to be hired, an appraiser to determine the “as is” fair market value of any single-family residence for which a direct sale to a residential tenant is contemplated as provided for in paragraph (4) or (5). The appraiser shall, at a minimum, be in good standing, be designated a Senior Residential Appraiser by the Appraisal Institute, possess a certified residential license, and have knowledge of the City of Hayward and County of Alameda single-family residence residential housing market. The department, at its sole election, may undertake an appraisal review. The commission is hereby authorized and directed to approve an appraisal review as provided in this section. However, the commission retains the authority to determine that the appraisal or appraisal review accurately determined the “as is” fair market value according to the processes and procedures identified or referenced in this section. For the purposes of this section, “fair market value” has the meaning set forth in Section 1263.320 of the Code of Civil Procedure. (b) This section shall become operative on the date on which the superior court issues the final approval order for the settlement agreement related to the disposition of excess properties acquired for the State Route 238 Hayward Bypass Project signed by the department, the City of Hayward, and representatives for members of the class of residents, or on January 1, 2010, whichever comes later.

(d) The commission shall adopt and submit to the Legislature and the Governor, not later than April 1 of each even-numbered year thereafter, a state transportation improvement program. The program shall cover a period of five years, beginning July 1 of the year it is adopted, and shall be a statement of intent by the commission for the allocation or expenditure of funds during those five years. The program shall include projects which are expected to receive funds prior to July 1 of the year of adoption, but for which the commission has not yet allocated funds. (e) The projects included in the adopted state transportation improvement program shall be limited to those projects submitted or recommended pursuant to Sections 14526 and 14527. The total amount programmed in each fiscal year for each program category shall not exceed the amount specified in the fund estimate adopted under Section 14525. (f) The state transportation improvement program is a resource management document to assist the state and local entities to plan and implement transportation improvements and to utilize available resources in a cost-effective manner. It is a document for each county and each region to declare their intent to use available state and federal funds in a timely and cost-effective manner. (g) Prior to the adoption of the state transportation improvement program, the commission shall hold not less than one hearing in northern California and one hearing in southern California to reconcile any objections by any county or regional agency to the department’s program or the department’s objections to any regional program. (h) The commission shall incorporate projects that are included in the regional transportation improvement program and are to be funded with regional improvement funds, unless the commission finds that the regional transportation improvement program is not consistent with the guidelines adopted by the commission or is not a cost-effective expenditure of state funds, in which case the commission may reject the regional transportation improvement program in its entirety. The finding shall be based on an objective analysis, including, but not limited to, travel forecast, cost, and air quality. The commission shall hold a public hearing in the affected county or region prior to rejecting the program, or not later than 60 days after rejecting the program. When a regional transportation improvement program is rejected, the regional entity may submit a new regional transportation improvement program for inclusion in the state transportation improvement program. The commission shall not reject a regional transportation improvement program unless, not later than 60 days after the date it received the program, it provided notice to the affected agency that specified the factual basis for its proposed action. (i) A project may be funded with more than one of the program categories listed in Section 164 of the Streets and Highways Code. (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no local or regional matching funds shall be required for projects that are included in the state transportation improvement program. (k) The commission may include a project recommended by a regional transportation planning agency or county transportation commission pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 14527, if the commission makes a finding, based on an objective analysis, that the recommended project is more cost-effective than a project submitted by the department pursuant to Section 14526.

CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION [14500 - 14565] ( Part 5.3 added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 1106. ) ## CHAPTER 2. Duties [14520 - 14534.1] ( Chapter 2 added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 1106. ) ## 14529.6. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the commission may advance unallocated funds in the State Highway Account, in the form of loans, to transportation planning agencies, county transportation commissions, transit districts, city and county governments, and local transportation authorities for the advancement of projects eligible under the state transportation improvement program that are included within an adopted regional transportation plan. (2) No application for a loan may be approved under this section for an agency that is not the approving authority for the county’s submission to the state transportation improvement program unless the agency applies jointly with the approving authority. (b) When considering loan applications, the commission shall ensure that all of the following conditions are met: (1) Projects shall comply with the environmental impact report certification requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code) and associated rules and regulations, and have prepared an environmental impact report under that act. (2) Total project costs shall be greater than ten million dollars ($10,000,000). In counties with populations of less than 500,000 persons, the commission may waive this requirement if 50 percent of a county’s share for the current county share period made under Section 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code is equal to or greater than the amount of project costs to be loaned. (3) A fiscal assessment of the applicant’s ability to repay a loan shall be made by an independent fiscal consultant selected by the applicant from a pre-qualified list of fiscal consultants approved jointly by the department and the commission. The department shall make a recommendation to the commission based on the analysis conducted by the independent fiscal consultant regarding each specific loan. Costs incurred for this assessment shall be paid by the applicant. (4) The maximum amount of funds that may be loaned to any single county in any single loan for one or more projects shall be not more than 50 percent of the most recent regional-choice funding allocation made pursuant to Section 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code, in an amount of not more than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). (5) Loan repayments shall be made in cash from nonstate sources. (6) Loans shall be repaid within four years from the date the loan is made. (7) If a default occurs, 100 percent repayment of the principal and interest, plus a penalty charge of 5 percent of the outstanding principal, shall be required in the form of a reduction in the county’s next allocation of county share funding made under Section 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code. If that reduction is not sufficient to pay the principal, interest, and penalty due, further reduction shall be made from subsequent allocations until the outstanding amount is paid in full. Additionally, the defaulting county shall be ineligible for regional choice fund programming made under Section 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code until the outstanding amount is paid in full. (8) Interest rates on loans shall be set at the rate paid on money in the Pooled Money Investment Account during the period of time that the money is loaned. (9) The commission shall approve or disapprove all loan applications not more than 30 days after the application is submitted. (10) When approved by the commission, the money for the loan shall be transmitted by the department directly to the applicant not later than 30 days after approval. (11) The total amount of outstanding loans approved under this program may not exceed five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) at any one time. (12) All payments on the principal of any loan plus interest or penalties paid shall be deposited in the State Highway Account. (13) The department shall require in writing that projects funded under this section be under construction not later than six months after the date the loan funds are transmitted. If the project is not under construction on or before the date set by the department under this paragraph, the department shall require that the loan be paid back, with interest, not later than 10 days after the department notifies the recipient that repayment is due. (c) The loan program created under this section shall automatically commence on a first-come, first-served basis whenever the State Highway Account cash balance exceeds four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) and shall be suspended whenever the commission determines that moneys in the State Highway Account will reach a cash balance of less than four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000), based on historical experience, the need for state matching funds, and anticipated contractual needs, except that the commission may terminate the program at any time it deems termination to be the most prudent course of action. For purposes of informing potential loan applicants of the availability of funds to be loaned, the commission shall adopt, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, projections regarding the availability of funds to be loaned and the period of time during which funds will be available. The department shall report to the commission prior to each projection regarding the cash-flow needs of the state transportation improvement program for the following six months. (d) Prior to loan approval, local agencies shall certify that other resources are not available to fund the project for which the loan is requested and that the agency does not intend to create an indirect arbitrage situation. (e) Not later than 120 days from the effective date of the act that added this section during the 1999–2000 Regular Session, the commission, in consultation with the department and interested parties, shall propose guidelines and procedures to implement and expedite the loan program established under this section. (f) Not later than 180 days from the effective date of the act that added this section during the 1999–2000 Regular Session, the commission, after a public hearing, shall adopt a uniform loan agreement package, including guidelines and implementation procedures, and shall begin operation of the loan program. The uniform loan agreement package shall describe loan repayment options, and all other terms and conditions necessary to protect the public interest as well as expedite the availability of funds for needed transportation improvements in the state. The commission shall make available to all interested parties the loan agreement associated with every specific loan made under this section for a period of 30 days prior to approval of those loans by the commission. (g) The commission shall recommend to the Governor and the Legislature any suggested changes in the dollar limits required under subdivision (c) and any proposed solutions to any other issues relating to the program’s impact on expediting delivery of transportation projects.

(a) A local jurisdiction may, with the concurrence of the appropriate transportation planning agency, the commission, and the department, advance a project included in the state transportation improvement program to an earlier fiscal year through the use of its own funds. A project advanced in this manner shall be deliverable by the state, or by the local jurisdiction pursuant to agreement, in the earlier year proposed by the local jurisdiction. If a project is advanced pursuant to this subdivision, the state transportation improvement program shall be revised at the time of adoption or by amendment to show the project in the earlier fiscal year. With the concurrence of the appropriate transportation planning agency, the commission, and the department, one or more replacement state transportation projects shall be identified and included in the state transportation improvement program for the equivalent escalated dollar value and at the originally scheduled fiscal year of the advanced project. If the project to be advanced is programmed with federal funds, the replacement project or projects shall not result in an increase in state matching funds. A replacement project or projects shall have no lower priority for funding and delivery than did the advanced project, as originally scheduled. (b) A local agency may enter into an agreement with the appropriate transportation planning agency, the department, and the commission to use its own funds to develop, purchase right-of-way for, and construct a transportation project within its jurisdiction if the project is one which is included in the adopted state transportation improvement program, funded by the Passenger Rail Bond Fund, as set forth in Section 2701.05 of the Streets and Highways Code, or if approved by the voters, the Passenger Rail Bond Fund created by, respectively, Section 2702.05 or 2703.05 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund created by Section 99610 of the Public Utilities Code, the State Highway Account, or the Transportation Planning and Development Account, or any combination thereof, pursuant to all of the following requirements: (1) Projects constructed pursuant to this subdivision shall conform to all applicable state and federal design and construction standards. (2) Pursuant to the agreement, and from funds allocated by the commission for the project in the year it was scheduled in the state transportation improvement program, subject to annual legislative appropriation, the department shall reimburse a local agency for the actual cost of constructing the project, including the acquisition of right-of-way, with local funds pursuant to this subdivision. Interest or other debt service costs incurred by local agencies to finance right-of-way acquisition or construction for the project are not reimbursable. Reimbursements made to a local agency pursuant to this subdivision shall be made from the funding source identified in the state transportation program. For purposes of Sections 188 and 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code, the project shall be considered as an expenditure in the year it was originally scheduled in the state transportation improvement program. (3) The amount actually reimbursed to the local agency under paragraph (2) shall be the amount expended by the local agency for right-of-way and construction, escalated by the actual construction cost index between the time of contract award and the time of commission allocation of reimbursement funding, but not to exceed the escalated amount programmed for expenditure for the project in the state transportation improvement program in the originally scheduled year. If the expenditure of local funds does not result in the completion of an operable segment of a transportation project, payback shall be limited only to the actual amount expended by the local agency for right-of-way or partial construction, with no escalation factor. (4) From funds appropriated to the department for project development work, the department shall reimburse the local agency for the actual cost of developing the project with local funds pursuant to this subdivision. Reimbursement of project development costs shall not exceed 20 percent of estimated construction costs. In no case shall this reimbursement exceed any lesser amount mutually agreed to by the department, commission, and local agency. Reimbursement shall occur at the earliest date the department has budget authority to do so, but not later than the year in which the department would have made those expenditures to deliver the project as originally scheduled in the state transportation improvement program. (5) The commission shall prepare a report on the progress and impact of the local transportation construction program authorized by this subdivision and shall include the report as an element of the annual report to the Legislature required pursuant to Sections 14535 and 14536 of the Government Code. (6) Reimbursements made to local agencies pursuant to this subdivision for expenditures of local voter approved sales and use tax revenues shall be used for the same purposes for which the imposition of the sales and use tax is authorized. (7) A project which is constructed pursuant to this subdivision is ineligible for funding from the State-Local Transportation Partnership Program established by Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 2600) of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code. (8) The commission, in consultation with the department and local transportation officials, shall develop and adopt guidelines to implement this subdivision.

(a) A transportation planning agency, county transportation commission, or local transportation authority may, with the concurrence of the commission, request the department to make a portion of the cost of any project funded by a local entity that is included in the state transportation improvement program eligible for reimbursement by the federal government pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code. The transportation planning agency, county transportation commission, or local transportation authority shall be responsible for the cost the department incurs in making the project’s cost eligible for federal reimbursement. (b) The transportation planning agency, county transportation commission, or local transportation authority and the department shall specify by agreement whether reimbursements for project costs received from the federal government pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code shall be returned to the local funding entity for transportation projects or allocated to additional projects in the state transportation improvement program. For purposes of Sections 188 and 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code, reimbursements to local entities shall be considered expenditures from the State Highway Account in the year the reimbursement occurs. (c) For reimbursements which a local funding entity specifies are to be allocated to additional projects in the state transportation improvement program, the transportation planning agency, county transportation commission, or local transportation authority and the department, in making their recommendations, and the commission, in adopting the state transportation improvement program, shall consider the recommendations of the local funding entity for projects to be funded from federal reimbursements received for a project the entity has funded. The reimbursements may not be used as substitute funding for projects the commission has included in the adopted state transportation improvement program and programmed to receive state and federal funds, other than those provided as reimbursement pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code. (d) The department, in its recommended funding estimate, shall identify the amount of project costs that can be made eligible for reimbursement pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code. The department shall also estimate the amount of federal funds available for reimbursement in each year of the state transportation improvement program. (e) Each year the department shall determine the actual amount of federal funds available for reimbursement pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code and shall notify the commission and regional transportation planning agencies. (f) In any federal fiscal year in which the department determines funding is available for reimbursement pursuant to Section 115 of Title 23 of the United States Code, the department shall seek reimbursement for locally funded projects in the order in which the projects were made eligible pursuant to subdivision (a). If the funds available are not sufficient to fully reimburse a locally funded project, the department shall seek reimbursment for the next project whose amount can be fully reimbursed. Projects bypassed for reimbursement in one fiscal year shall retain their priority in the next fiscal year in which funding is available. (g) The commission shall not make a reimbursement pursuant to this section unless the department finds that implementation of advance construction of projects results in the state receiving federal funds in addition to those which would be received in the absence of advanced construction agreements under this section. Reimbursement shall only be made when the commission determines that all county minimum expenditures pursuant to Section 188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code can be reasonably met, that the minimum expenditures cannot be met for reasons not related to advance construction reimbursements, or when the county in which a reimbursement would be made is below its minimum expenditure amount pursuant to that section. A project bypassed for reimbursement under this subdivision in one fiscal year shall retain its priority in the next fiscal year in which funding is available. (h) The department shall notify the commission within 30 days of applying for reimbursement by the federal government for locally funded projects. (Added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1475, Sec. 3.)

The letter of no prejudice shall reference the project or component thereof and the amount of bond funding that is programmed, allocated, or otherwise approved for that project or project component. The commission may approve a letter of no prejudice without further appropriation of funds in the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund, as moneys in that fund are continuously appropriated to the commission for allocation pursuant to Section 99612 of the Public Utilities Code. (b) Expenditures for the costs, up to the amount set forth in the letter of no prejudice, of a project or project component for which a letter of no prejudice has been issued shall be eligible for reimbursement from the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund if all of the following apply: (1) The project or project component for which the letter of no prejudice was requested has commenced and expenditures on the project or project component have been incurred by the local agency. (2) The expenditures made by the local agency are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with state and federal laws and procedures, and are permitted expenditures under the applicable provisions of the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Act of 1990 (Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code). If expenditures made are determined to be ineligible, then the state has no obligation to reimburse for those expenditures. (3) The local agency complies with all legal requirements for the project, including the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code). (4) The expenditures were incurred after the project or project component was programmed, allocated, or otherwise approved for funding by the commission. (5) There is in the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund an amount sufficient to make the reimbursement payment. Nothing in this section requires the fund to be funded at any particular time or in any particular amount. (c) The commission and the local agency may enter into an agreement or agreements governing reimbursement as described in this section. (d) Nothing in this section modifies any requirement under Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this section or in any letter of no prejudice shall eliminate or modify any condition or requirement for granting, allocation, or reallocation of funds or any other provision relating to grants, allocations, or reallocations in Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code. (e) For purposes of this section, “letter of no prejudice” means an agreement between a local agency and the commission that makes eligible for future reimbursement from bond proceeds the expenditure of funds under the control of the local agency, subject to availability of bond funds, as provided in this section. The timing and final amount of reimbursement is dependent on the terms of the agreement and the availability of bond funds. The final amount of reimbursement may be less than the amount stated in the letter of no prejudice. (Added by Stats. 2010, 8th Ex. Sess., Ch. 7, Sec. 1. (AB 11 8x) Effective June 10, 2010.)

Legislative Findings and Declarations [14550- 14550.] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1999, Ch. 862, Sec. 3. ) ## 14550. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) Between 1970 and 1990, California’s population grew by 50 percent, while the total number of miles driven in the state increased by 100 percent. (b) Conservative estimates have the state adding an additional 6 million new residents by the end of the next decade. (c) Revenues available for investment in California’s transportation system have not kept pace with that increasing state population, or with the increased demand on the state’s transportation infrastructure. (d) California is now home to five of the nation’s 10 most congested urban areas. (e) Between 1987 and 1995, the number of California drivers who sit idle in traffic congestion has grown by 70 percent, and California drivers now sit idle in traffic congestion more than 300,000 hours per day. (f) It is estimated that traffic congestion in California now costs the state’s businesses more than two million eight hundred thousand dollars ($2,800,000) per day in lost time and resources. (g) The United States Congress recently authorized states under the federal National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 and the federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century to issue “GARVEE bonds,” which are tax-exempt anticipation notes backed by annual federal appropriations for federal aid transportation projects. (h) Utilizing grant anticipation notes to finance federal transportation projects can greatly accelerate projects and can result in significant cost savings to the state, since those transportation projects can be completed at present-day costs. (i) Funding transportation projects with grant anticipation notes can also deliver projects to the public significantly sooner than traditional funding mechanisms. (j) Therefore, it is in the best interest of the State of California to develop these new and innovative methods for funding and accelerating critical transportation infrastructure projects.

    The Legislature states that California should immediately act to reduce transportation congestion and says it is appropriate to create funding mechanisms for congestion relief, transit, rail, neighborhood streets and roads, and related transportation improvements.

General Provisions [14556 - 14556.3] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 2000, Ch. 91, Sec. 6. ) ## 14556.3. The Legislature finds and declares that it is in the interest of the State of California to immediately take steps to relieve congestion on the state’s transportation systems and finds and declares the following: (a) California’s population has grown by more than 50 percent over the past 20 years while highway capacity has increased only 7 percent. (b) Between 1987 and 1995, the number of California drivers who sit idle in traffic congestion has grown 70 percent, and California drivers now sit idle in traffic congestion more than 300,000 hours per day. (c) It is estimated that traffic congestion in California now costs the state’s businesses more than two million eight hundred thousand dollars ($2,800,000) per day in lost time and resources. (d) Local streets and roads in California suffer from an estimated ten billion two hundred million dollars ($10,200,000,000) backlog of deferred maintenance. The magnitude of this backlog is estimated to increase by four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) each year. (e) The Public Transportation Account in the State Transportation Fund, which provides funds for transit operations and intercity rail service in California, is estimated to have a four-year deficit of fifty-three million dollars ($53,000,000), increasing to a six-year deficit of one hundred fifty-eight million dollars ($158,000,000). (f) The state’s population is expected to exceed 45,000,000 persons by the year 2020, imposing additional demand on the transportation system. (g) Significant benefits will be obtained by completing major improvements earlier, accelerating development of new improvements, and improving the connectivity of the various transportation modes within the state’s transportation system. (h) Therefore, it is appropriate to create a Traffic Congestion Relief Fund to finance congestion relief improvements, to dedicate the sales tax on gasoline to transportation purposes, and to create a Transportation Investment Fund to finance improvements to neighborhood streets and roads, to provide funding for transit operations and intercity rail, and to supplement the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund.

(b) If the commission and a lead applicant agency concur that a project is delayed by factors external to the control of the lead applicant agency and the factors are not likely to be removed within a reasonable time, the lead applicant agency may submit an application for an alternate or substitute project if the alternate project is designed to relieve congestion consistent with this act, is within the jurisdiction of the lead applicant agency, and meets all other project approval requirements. (c) Notwithstanding Section 16304, funds allocated from the fund shall be available for encumbrance for three years after the date of allocation, and encumbered funds shall be available for liquidation for two additional years. Any funds not expended by that time limit shall revert to the fund. (d) The commission, with respect to any funds that revert to the fund pursuant to subdivision (c), may direct the department to reallocate those funds to the same project if the commission finds that the lead applicant agency is pursuing the project diligently and that the project has been delayed by factors external to the control of the lead applicant agency.

(2) The cash flow requirements necessary for projects in Article 5. (3) The extent to which the agencies have had to defer other high priority STIP or TCRP projects because of advancing their own funds. (4) The extent to which reimbursements would be spent on the construction phase of other STIP or TCRP projects. (5) Any adverse impact on the agency’s other high priority projects of postponing reimbursement until project completion as opposed to allowing payment to be made based upon the amount of funds expended on eligible costs for a project, payment to be made upon the documentation of those eligible costs. (6) The level of commitment made by the agency in expending its own funds for any component of a transportation project under Article 5. (f) In revising its guidelines pursuant to subdivision (e), the commission shall not increase the maximum percentage of funding allocated for reimbursement under this section beyond the maximum percentage in effect in its guidelines as of June 30, 2005.

(a) (1) To the extent necessary to provide adequate cash to fund projected expenditures under this chapter, the Director of Finance may authorize, by executive order, the transfer of not more than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), as an interest free loan, from the Motor Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund to the TCRF, and the transfer of any available funds, as an interest free loan, from the General Fund to the TCRF. Loans from the Motor Vehicle Account may be made no sooner than July 1, 2004, and shall be repaid no later than July 1, 2007. The Director of Finance shall not authorize a loan from the Motor Vehicle Account, and shall promptly require the repayment of any outstanding balance owed to that account, if the funds are needed in the account to make expenditures authorized in the annual Budget Act and by any other appropriations made by the Legislature. (2) To provide cash needed for expenditures on projects listed in Section 14556.40, the Legislature may authorize loans from the Public Transportation Account or the State Highway Account to the TCRF through the annual Budget Act. The Legislature may also authorize the State Highway Account to expend funds on behalf of projects listed in Section 14556.40 and those expenditures shall constitute a loan to the TCRF. Loans from the Public Transportation Account shall not exceed a cumulative total of two hundred eighty million dollars ($280,000,000), and loans from the State Highway Account shall not exceed a cumulative total of six hundred fifty-four million dollars ($654,000,000). (b) The Director of Finance shall order the repayment of the loans authorized under this section under those terms and conditions that the director deems appropriate, upon determining that there are adequate funds available for that purpose in the TCRF and that repayment will not jeopardize the availability of money needed to fund approved and projected expenditures under this chapter. All loans from the Public Transportation Account and the State Highway Account shall be repaid at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c). Upon the request of the commission or the Director of Finance, the department shall provide a report, for purposes of this subdivision, projecting the cash needs of the projects approved under this chapter. (c) (1) Money in the TCRF derived from the General Fund and not currently needed for expenditures on the projects listed in Section 14556.40 may be loaned to the General Fund through the annual Budget Act. (2) Upon making a determination that funds in the TCRF are not adequate to support expected cash expenditures for the listed projects, the Director of Finance, by executive order, shall require that funds loaned to the General Fund under paragraph (1) be repaid to the TCRF. All these loans shall be repaid upon the sale of bonds authorized by Article 6.5 (commencing with Section 63048.6) of Chapter 2 of Division 1 of Title 6.7. If the proceeds from those bonds are insufficient to repay the funds loaned to the General Fund under paragraph (1), the remaining amount of those loans shall be repaid from future tribal gaming revenues, additional securitizations against those revenues, or from the General Fund. (3) Interest at the rate earned by the Surplus Money Investment Fund shall be paid to the TCRF from the General Fund with respect to the cumulative amount loaned from the State Highway Account to the TCRF pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) that is in excess of one hundred eighty million dollars ($180,000,000). The amount of this interest obligation shall be calculated annually on the balance of this portion of this outstanding loan amount. All interest on the loan shall be paid in full at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to paragraph (2), and the interest payment shall be transferred from the TCRF to the State Highway Account. (d) Funds loaned to the TCRF under this section shall be used for purposes consistent with any restrictions on uses of those funds imposed under the California Constitution or by statute. The department shall identify specific projects to which those funds may properly be applied and shall propose that application of funds to the commission. The commission shall designate projects to receive those funds through the processes described in Article 3 (commencing with Section 14556.10) and Article 4 (commencing with Section 14556.25). The department shall report periodically to the commission and the Department of Finance on the expenditure of those funds. (e) As long as loan balances authorized by this section are outstanding, the Director of Transportation shall report to the commission the amounts of loans outstanding with respect to each fund or account as of the last business day of each quarter. (f) This section shall become inoperative upon full repayment of loans authorized by this section, and shall be repealed on January 1 of the following year. (Amended by Stats. 2008, Ch. 756, Sec. 7. Effective September 30, 2008. Inoperative on date prescribed by its own provisions. Repealed on January 1 after inoperative date, by its own provisions.)

Transportation Infrastructure: Climate Adaptation Grant Programs [14560 - 14565] ( Chapter 6 added by Stats. 2022, Ch. 71, Sec. 3. ) ## 14560. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) Sea level rise and other climate-fueled hazards are threatening the state’s critical surface transportation infrastructure and surrounding communities. (2) Large-scale investment will be needed to make the state’s transportation assets and its communities resilient to climate hazards. In the San Francisco Bay area alone, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Association of Bay Area Governments estimate a nineteen-billion-dollar ($19,000,000,000) cost to adapt for just two feet of sea level rise. (3) Since 2015, the state enacted several laws and took administrative action directed to incorporate climate adaptation into transportation investment decisions. Executive Order B-30-15 requires the consideration of climate change in all state investment decisions; Senate Bill 379 (Chapter 608 of the Statutes of 2015) requires local governments to incorporate climate adaptation and resiliency strategies into general plans; and the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5 of the Statutes of 2017) includes funding for climate change adaptation planning grants. (4) Critical multistakeholder adaptation planning work has already begun around the state. (5) The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58) increases California’s National Highway Performance Program funds to twelve billion eight hundred million dollars ($12,800,000,000) over the five-year funding period and newly allows those dollars to be spent on resilience, including an allowance for up to 15 percent of the funds to be spent on protective features anywhere on the federal aid highway system. (6) The IIJA also creates a new resilience formula program, the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation (PROTECT) program, which provides California with approximately six hundred thirty million dollars ($630,000,000) over five years. These funds can be used for planning and resilience improvements that protect surface transportation assets. (b) The intent of this chapter is to provide for the funding of the identification of climate vulnerabilities, the assessment of the risks created by those vulnerabilities, and the planning, development, and implementation of transportation projects that adapt to those risks and support the holistic and comprehensive adaptation to climate change.
