. (a) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, of
the net revenues deposited to the credit of the Highway Users Tax
Account that are derived from the increases in the rates of taxes
that are imposed pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 7360 and
Section 7361.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, all of the following
shall occur on a monthly basis:
(1) (A) By the 15th day of every month, the Treasurer's office, in
consultation with the Department of Finance, shall notify the
Controller of the amount of debt service that will be paid on each
transportation bond during that month.
(B) Within two business days following the 28th day of each month,
the Controller shall transfer to the Transportation Debt Service
Fund an amount equal to the amount of monthly debt service paid by
the General Fund on any bonds issued pursuant to the Seismic Retrofit
Bond Act of 1996 (Chapter 12.48 (commencing with Section 8879) of
Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code) or any other bonds
issued for highway or eligible guideway projects consistent with the
requirements applicable to the expenditure of revenues under Article
XIX of the California Constitution as identified by the Department of
Finance pursuant to Section 16965 of the Government Code, and
three-quarters of the amount of monthly debt service paid on any
bonds issued pursuant to the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air
Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Chapter 12.49
(commencing with Section 8879.20) of Division 1 of Title 2) for
reimbursement of the General Fund for these costs. If revenues
available pursuant to this subdivision in any given month are
insufficient to fully reimburse the General Fund for the debt service
payments made, the first revenues available pursuant to this
subdivision in the following month or months shall be transferred to
the Transportation Debt Service Fund so that all debt service
payments made on these bonds from the General Fund in a given fiscal
year are fully reimbursed. However, no further transfers shall be
made pursuant to this subparagraph once the transfers for the months
of July to October, inclusive, in 2010 have been made. Any transfers
made from the net revenues identified in this paragraph for highway
and eligible guideway bond debt service for months after October 2010
shall be reversed and shall instead be made from weight fee revenues
in the State Highway Account, as described in subparagraph (F).
(C) Beginning November 2, 2010, the Controller shall transfer to
the State Highway Account within two business days following the 28th
day of each month all of the monthly net revenues identified in
subparagraph (B) that were designated for highway and eligible
guideway bond debt service reimbursement but that have not been
transferred, or that were transferred by means of a transfer that was
reversed, pursuant to that subparagraph. To the extent the
Controller has distributed any of those net revenues to cities and
counties pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) between
November 2, 2010, and March 24, 2011, the Controller shall
subsequently reduce the amount transferred to cities and counties on
a monthly basis pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) and
shall instead transfer these funds to the State Highway Account until
all of the revenues that would otherwise have been transferred to
the State Highway Account on and after November 2, 2010, pursuant to
this subparagraph have been so transferred. For the 2011-12 fiscal
year, the Controller shall transfer to the State Highway Account
within two business days following the 28th day of each month an
amount equal to the weight fee revenues transferred to the
Transportation Debt Service Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) of
Section 9400.4 of the Vehicle Code, including forty-three million
seven hundred thousand dollars ($43,700,000) authorized pursuant to
Item 2660-013-0042 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2011 and an
amount equal to weight fee revenues transferred to the General Fund
as a loan pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 9400.4 of the
Vehicle Code. To the extent the Controller has distributed any of
those revenues to cities and counties pursuant to subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (3), the Controller shall subsequently reduce the amount
transferred to cities and counties on a monthly basis pursuant to
subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) and instead transfer these funds to
the State Highway Account until all of the revenues that would
otherwise have been transferred to the State Highway Account in the
2011-12 fiscal year pursuant to this subparagraph have been so
transferred.
(D) Notwithstanding subparagraph (C), commencing with the 2012-13
fiscal year and every fiscal year thereafter, the Controller shall
transfer to the State Highway Account within two business days
following the 28th day of each month an amount equal to the amount of
weight fee revenues transferred to the Transportation Debt Service
Fund for highway and eligible guideway bond debt service and to the
General Fund as a loan pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 9400.4
of the Vehicle Code.
(E) Beginning July 1, 2011, transfers made under subparagraphs (C)
and (D) during a fiscal year shall not exceed the annual revenue
generated from weight fees, as determined by Sections 9400.4 and
42205 of the Vehicle Code, at the rates in effect as of March 24,
2011, as determined by the Department of Finance.
(F) Any remaining amount of the highway or eligible guideway bond
debt service reimbursement authorized by this paragraph that has not
been made pursuant to subparagraph (B) on and after November 2, 2010,
shall instead be made pursuant to subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of
Section 9400.4 of the Vehicle Code from revenues in the State Highway
Account derived from weight fees deposited in the account pursuant
to subdivision (e) of Section 9400.1 and Section 42205 of the Vehicle
Code.
(2) (A) In the 2010-11 fiscal year, after the monthly transfer
made pursuant to paragraph (1), the sum of fifty-four million one
hundred sixty-seven thousand dollars ($54,167,000) per month shall be
held in the account for future appropriation by the Legislature.
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, with respect to
the monthly net revenues described in subparagraph (A), no further
transfers of these revenues for the purpose of loans to the General
Fund shall be made pursuant to Item 2660-011-0062 of Section 2.00 of
the Budget Act of 2010 once the loan transfers for the months of July
to October, inclusive, in 2010 have been made. Notwithstanding the
loan repayment date specified in the provisional language for that
item, the funds loaned shall be repaid by June 30, 2021. Any
transfers made from the monthly net revenues in subparagraph (A) for
months after October 2010 shall be reversed and shall instead be made
from weight fee revenues in the State Highway Account, as described
in subparagraph (D). The revenues from loan repayments shall be held
in the Highway Users Tax Account for future appropriation by the
Legislature.
(C) Beginning November 2, 2010, all of the monthly net revenues
described in subparagraph (A) shall instead be transferred by the
Controller to the State Highway Account within two business days
following the 28th day of each month. To the extent that the
Controller has distributed any of the revenues identified in this
paragraph to cities and counties pursuant to subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (3) between October 14, 2010, and March 24, 2011, the
Controller shall subsequently reduce the amount transferred to cities
and counties on a monthly basis pursuant to subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (3) and shall instead transfer these funds to the State
Highway Account until all of the revenues that would have been
transferred to the General Fund as a loan pursuant to Item
2660-011-0062 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2010 on and after
November 2, 2010, have instead been transferred to the State Highway
Account.
(D) Any remaining amount of the loans to the General Fund
authorized pursuant to Item 2660-011-0062 of Section 2.00 of the
Budget Act of 2010 that has not been made pursuant to subparagraph
(B) on and after November 2, 2010, shall instead be made pursuant to
subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of Section 9400.4 of the Vehicle Code
from revenues in the State Highway Account derived from weight fees
deposited in the account pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section
9400.1 and Section 42205 of the Vehicle Code.
(3) The Controller shall transfer any remaining net revenues
subject to this subdivision as follows:
(A) Forty-four percent shall be transferred to the State Highway
Account to fund projects in the State Transportation Improvement
Program that are consistent with Section 1 of Article XIX of the
California Constitution, except in the 2010-11 fiscal year, 50
percent shall be transferred for purposes of this subparagraph.
(B) Twelve percent shall be transferred to the State Highway
Account to fund projects in the State Highway Operation and
Protection Program, except in the 2010-11 fiscal year, no revenues
shall be transferred for purposes of this subparagraph.
(C) Forty-four percent shall be apportioned by the Controller for
local street and road purposes, except in the 2010-11 fiscal year, 50
percent shall be transferred for purposes of this subparagraph as
follows:
(i) Fifty percent shall be apportioned by the Controller to
cities, including a city and county, in the proportion that the total
population of the city bears to the total population of all the
cities in the state.
(ii) Fifty percent shall be apportioned by the Controller to
counties, including a city and county, in accordance with the
following formulas:
(I) Seventy-five percent shall be apportioned among the counties
in the proportion that the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles
that are registered in the county bear to the number of fee-paid and
exempt vehicles registered in the state.
(II) Twenty-five percent shall be apportioned among the counties
in the proportion that the number of miles of maintained county roads
in each county bear to the total number of miles of maintained
county roads in the state. For the purposes of apportioning funds
under this subparagraph, any roads within the boundaries of a city
and county that are not state highways shall be deemed to be county
roads.
(b) After the transfers or other actions pursuant to subdivision
(a), at least 90 percent of the balance deposited to the credit of
the Highway Users Tax Account in the Transportation Tax Fund by the
28th day of each month shall be apportioned or transferred, as
applicable, by the Controller by the second working day thereafter,
except for June, in which case the apportionment or transfer shall be
made the same day. These apportionments or transfers shall be made
as provided for in Sections 2104 to 2122, inclusive. If information
is not available to make the apportionment or transfer as required,
the apportionment or transfer shall be made on the basis of the
information of the previous month. Amounts not apportioned or
transferred shall be included in the apportionment or transfer of the
subsequent month.
(c) Notwithstanding any other law, the funds apportioned by the
Controller to cities and counties pursuant to subparagraph (C) of
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) are not subject to Section 7104 or
7104.2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. These funds may be expended
for any street and road purpose consistent with the requirements of
this chapter.
