SUMMARY                                                                  Put on the Ballot by Petition Signatures

Prohibits certain motor vehicle fuel taxes from being retained in General Fund and delays repayment of such taxes previously retained. Changes how and when General Fund borrowing of certain transportation funds is allowed. Fiscal Impact: Increases stability of state funding for highways, streets, and roads and may decrease stability of state funding for public transit. May reduce stability of certain local funds for public transit.

WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS

YES   A YES vote on this measure means: The state would no longer be able to suspend the transfer of gasoline sales tax revenue from the General Fund to transportation. In addition, the state would be able to loan specified transportation funds, potentially including certain local transportation funds, to the General Fund for essentially short-term cash flow purposes only. The state, however, may be able to loan to the General Fund, without express time limitation for repayment, certain state funds for public transit.

  

NO   A NO vote on this measure means: The state would still be able to suspend, under certain conditions, the transfer of gasoline sales tax revenue from the General Fund to transportation. Additionally, the state would continue to be able, under certain conditions, to loan specified transportation funds to the General Fund for up to three fiscal years.

ARGUMENTS

PRO   Prop. 91 is NO LONGER NEEDED. Please VOTE NO. Voters passed Proposition 1A in 2006, accomplishing what Prop. 91 set out to do. Prop. 1A stopped Sacramento politicians from taking our gas tax dollars and using those funds for non-transportation purposes. Prop. 91 is no longer needed. VOTE NO.

  

CON   No argument against Proposition 91 was submitted.
