SB 916 Senate Bill - AMENDED Page 2 of 29 <br />9. D -10 <br />rate charged on the state -owned toll bridges in that area , and <br />would identify the purposes for which revenues from the toll <br />increase would be used . By requiring this election, the bill <br />would impose a state - mandated local program. Because the bill would <br />specify that the revenue resulting from the increased toll charge <br />would be continuously appropriated to the MTC for expenditure on <br />specified projects, it would make an appropriation. <br />The bill would require the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, <br />established by and among the City and County of San Francisco, the <br />Alameda- Contra Costa County Transit District, and the Peninsula Joint <br />Powers Board, to use proceeds received from the use of certain <br />parcels transferred to it for certain costs associated with the <br />existing transbay transit terminal and the construction of a new <br />transbay transit terminal. The bill would authorize the Transbay <br />Joint Powers Authority to request an allocation of specified amounts <br />of toll revenues from BATA. <br />The bill additionally would make related changes and would repeal <br />obsolete provisions relating to the operation of toll facilities. <br />The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local <br />agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the <br />state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that <br />reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund <br />to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide <br />and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed <br />$1,000,000. <br />This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates <br />determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, <br />reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these <br />statutory provisions. <br />Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes. <br />State- mandated local program: yes. <br />THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: <br />SECTION 1.
