7105
. (a) The Transportation Deferred Investment Fund is hereby
created in the State Treasury. The Transportation Deferred Investment
Fund is to be considered part of the Transportation Investment Fund,
except as specifically required for accounting purposes, in order to
facilitate the repayment and allocation of revenues consistent with
paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 1 of Article XIX B of the
California Constitution as provided in this section and Section
7106.
(b) Pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code, the transfer
of revenues from the General Fund to the Transportation Investment
Fund that would have otherwise been required under subdivision (a) of
Section 1 of Article XIX B of the California Constitution was
partially suspended for the 2003-04 fiscal year. The amount of the
transfer for the 2003-04 fiscal year was two hundred eighty-nine
million dollars ($289,000,000). According to the State Board of
Equalization calculations, with the concurrence of the Department of
Finance, the amount of the transfer suspended for the 2003-04 fiscal
year was eight hundred sixty-seven million five hundred sixty-eight
thousand dollars ($867,568,000). On or before June 30 of each fiscal
year until June 30, 2016, the Controller shall transfer an amount
from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund
that is equal to the minimum repayment required by Article XIX B of
the California Constitution. The repayment shall also include
interest calculated at the Pooled Money Investment Account rate
relative to the amounts that would otherwise have been available for
the transportation programs described in paragraphs (2) to (5),
inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104. The amount to be
repaid by June 30, 2016, from the General Fund to the Transportation
Deferred Investment Fund shall be reduced by the amount of any
payment made to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund from any
funding source, excluding subdivision (d). The moneys deposited in
the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to this
subdivision are continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal
years for disbursement in the manner and for the purposes set forth
in this section.
(c) The Controller, from the moneys deposited in the
Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b)
and Article XIX B of the California Constitution, shall make
transfers and apportionments of those funds in the same manner and
amounts that would have been made in the 2003-04 fiscal year from the
Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104, as that
section read on January 1, 2003, if the transfer of funds from the
General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund had not been
partially suspended for the 2003-04 fiscal year pursuant to Section
14557 of the Government Code, except that in the 2007-08 fiscal year
any remaining principle or interest owed to the Public Transportation
Account shall be repaid first before any other transfers are made.
However, in making those transfers and apportionments, the Controller
shall take into account and deduct therefrom any transfers and
apportionments that were made from the Transportation Investment Fund
in the 2003-04 fiscal year from funds made available pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 14557 of the Government Code. It is the
intent of the Legislature that, upon completion of the transfer of
funds pursuant to subdivision (b) from the General Fund to the
Transportation Deferred Investment Fund, each of the transportation
programs that was to have been funded during the 2003-04 fiscal year
from the Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104 of
this code shall have received the amount of funding that the program
would have received in the absence of the suspension of the transfer
pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code.
(d) The interest that is to be deposited in the Transportation
Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be
allocated proportionately to each program element in paragraphs (2)
to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104, based on the
amount that each program did not receive in the 2003-04 fiscal year
due to suspension of the transfer pursuant to Section 14557 of the
Government Code.
(e) Four hundred ninety-five million dollars ($495,000,000) is
hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Transportation
Deferred Investment Fund for the purpose of paying a portion of the
amount required to be paid pursuant to subdivision (b). The
Controller shall make the payment immediately upon enactment of the
statute amending this section in the 2005-06 Regular Session.
Notwithstanding subdivision (c), these funds, shall be distributed as
follows:
(1) The first one hundred ninety-two million dollars
($192,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall
remain in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to be used for
projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program pursuant to
paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 7104.
(2) The next one hundred ninety-two million dollars ($192,000,000)
and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be distributed
to cities and counties, as follows:
(A) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due
pursuant to this section shall be transferred to cities for the
purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in
paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) of that section.
(B) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due
pursuant to this section shall be transferred to counties for the
purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in
paragraph (4) of subdivision (c) of that section.
(3) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due
pursuant to this section shall be transferred to the Public
Transportation Account for allocation pursuant to Section 99312 of
the Public Utilities Code.
(4) Any funds remaining following the distributions required by
paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) shall be transferred to the Traffic
Congestion Relief Fund, and shall be deemed to be funds received by
that fund in the 2003-04 fiscal year.
(f) The Legislature finds and declares that continued investment
in transportation is essential for the California economy. That
investment reduces traffic congestion, assists in economic
development, improves the condition of local streets and roads, and
provides high-quality public transportation.
(g) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon order of
the Department of Finance, all or some of the state agencies
collecting revenues for, or spending from, the Transportation
Deferred Investment Fund shall adjust budgeting, accounting, and
reporting systems and documents so that unliquidated encumbrances,
payables, and other accruals are not reflected in the fund balance in
the Governor's Budget fund condition display or the fund balance in
the financial statements submitted to the Controller for the
budgetary-legal basis annual report.
(2) For the purposes of the Governor's Budget, the balance of cash
advanced from the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to the
Transportation Revolving Account, as jointly determined by the
Department of Finance and the state agencies referenced in paragraph
(1), shall be deemed as resources and cash available to the
Transportation Deferred Investment Fund for budgeting purposes.
(3) This method shall be effective with the 2013-14 Governor's
Budget development process and may be applied to the 2011-12 data.
