42205
. (a) Notwithstanding Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
42270), the department shall file, at least monthly with the
Controller, a report of money received by the department pursuant to
Section 9400 for the previous month and shall, at the same time,
remit all money so reported to the Treasurer. On order of the
Controller, the Treasurer shall deposit all money so remitted into
the State Highway Account in the State Transportation Fund, or
directly into the Transportation Debt Service Fund as provided in
paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 9400.4, as applicable.
(b) The Legislature shall appropriate from the State Highway
Account in the State Transportation Fund to the department and the
Franchise Tax Board amounts equal to the costs incurred by each in
performing their duties pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with
Section 9400) of Chapter 6 of Division 3. The applicable amounts
shall be determined so that the appropriate costs for registration
and weight fee collection activities are appropriated between the
recipients of revenues in proportion to the revenues that would have
been received individually by those recipients if the total fee
imposed under the Vehicle License Fee Law (Part 5 (commencing with
Section 10701) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) was 2
percent of the market value of a vehicle. The remainder of the funds
collected under Section 9400 and deposited in the account, other than
the direct deposits to the Transportation Debt Service Fund
referenced in subdivision (a), may be appropriated to the Department
of Transportation, the Department of the California Highway Patrol,
and the Department of Motor Vehicles for the purposes authorized
under Section 3 of Article XIX of the California Constitution.
