REQUIRES THAT CERTAIN NEW TRANSPORTATION
REVENUES BE USED FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES.
LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUMMARY
PREPARED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Requires that revenues generated by a 2017
transportation funding law, through a certain
vehicle license fee and diesel sales tax,
be used only for transportation purposes,
including public transportation. Generally
prohibits the Legislature from diverting those
funds to other purposes.
Prohibits revenue from new vehicle license
fees from being used to repay general
obligation bond debt.
Exempts new revenues from state and local
spending limits.
SUMMARY OF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S ESTIMATE OF NET STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct effect on the amount of state and
local revenues or costs, as the measure does
not change existing tax and fee rates.
The measure could affect how some monies
are spent by ensuring that revenues from
recently enacted taxes and fees continue to be
spent on transportation purposes.
The measure would put the state a little
further below its constitutional spending limit.
