Statute overview

About this statute

Before the commission approves certain highway projects, the submitting department or regional transportation planning agency must show that reversible lanes were considered. The department may do whatever is necessary to lay out, acquire, and construct parts of a state highway as a freeway, or convert an existing state highway into a freeway. The department generally may not acquire real property for a freeway through a city or county unincorporated area until the required agreement is executed, but there are gift and hardship/protective exceptions. It must give notice of any pre-agreement acquisition. Local officials may authorize certain right-of-way purchases before agreement approval. The city council or board of supervisors must hold a public hearing before entering into the agreement described in Section 100.2. The department may add freeway-related street or highway improvements to Section 100.2 agreements and may do that work as part of freeway construction.

(a) An eligible recipient for funds pursuant to Section 2704.095 may apply to the California Transportation Commission for a letter of no prejudice for a project or a component of a project to be undertaken with those funds. The commission may approve the letter of no prejudice for one or more projects or project components that the commission has programmed or otherwise approved for funding. The letter of no prejudice shall reference the project or component thereof and the amount of bond funding that is programmed or otherwise approved for that project or project component. The commission may approve a letter of no prejudice regardless of whether bond funding has been previously appropriated for purposes of the project or project component. (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 High-Speed Passenger Train Bond 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 have been incurred by the eligible recipient. (2) The expenditures made by the eligible recipient are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with state and federal laws and procedures and are permitted expenditures under Section 2704.095. If expenditures made are determined to be ineligible, then the state has no obligation to reimburse for those expenditures. (3) The eligible recipient 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 or otherwise approved for funding by the commission. (5) There is in the High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Fund an appropriated 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 an eligible recipient may enter into an agreement or agreements governing reimbursement as described in this section. (d) The commission, in consultation with eligible recipients, may develop guidelines to implement this section. If the commission develops guidelines, the commission shall, to the extent practicable, use the guidelines developed for letters of no prejudice under Section 8879.501 of the Government Code. (e) Nothing in this section modifies any requirement under Chapter 20 (commencing with Section 2704). (f) For the purposes of this section, “letter of no prejudice” means an agreement between an eligible recipient and the commission that makes eligible for future reimbursement from bond proceeds the expenditure of funds under the control of the eligible recipient, subject to the availability of bond funds, as provided in this section. The timing and final amount of reimbursement are 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, Ch. 292, Sec. 1. (SB 1371) Effective September 24, 2010.)
