. (a) In addition to any other fees specified in this code, a
city, county, or regional park district may impose, as a special tax
subject to two-thirds voter approval in the jurisdiction in which it
is imposed, pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 2 of Article XIII
C of the California Constitution, a local motor vehicle registration
surcharge, in whole dollars not to exceed five dollars ($5), on each
vehicle registered within the jurisdiction of the agency imposing the
surcharge, except vehicles that are expressly exempted from payment
of registration fees. The amount of the surcharge shall be specified
in an ordinance adopted by the local agency. The surcharge shall
terminate on January 1, 2025. The surcharge shall be administered by
the department, with revenues, after deduction of collection costs,

bikeways, including the rehabilitation, restoration, and expansion of
existing trails and bikeways, the development of new trails and
bikeways, the improvement and development of other bicycle
facilities, including, but not limited to, bicycle parking
facilities, and the maintenance and upkeep of local and regional
trail and bikeway systems, networks, and other bicycle facilities.
Not more than 5 percent of the net revenues may be used by the local
agency for its administrative expenses in implementing this section.
(c) Any local agency that imposes a surcharge pursuant to
subdivision (a) shall provide an annual fiscal yearend report to the
Legislature that shall include the following information:
(1) The total net revenues received from the surcharge and
expended during the previous fiscal year.
(2) A summary of the infrastructure and projects funded pursuant
to subdivision (b).
(d) For purposes of this section, "regional park district" shall
have the same meaning as "district" as defined in Section 5500 of the
Public Resources Code.

2025, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2025, deletes or extends
that date.
