	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2679, as amended, Committee on Transportation. Transportation:
omnibus bill.
   (1) Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation 
(department)  to pay claims or damages up to a maximum of $5,000
without the approval of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board.
   This bill would adjust the claim limit that may be paid by the
department under these provisions to equal the maximum amount of a
claim that can be brought in small claims court. 
   (2) Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to
establish rules and regulations for the use and maintenance of state
buildings and grounds.  
   This bill would permit the riding of bicycles on designated
pathways on the grounds of the State Capitol in order to access
bicycle racks near the building entrances.  
   (2) 
    (3)  Existing law, the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, also
known as the Transportation Development Act, provides for funding of
local public transit systems throughout the state and requires, among
other things, specified special accommodations for handicapped
persons, as defined, on public transit systems.
   This bill would replace the term "handicapped" with the term
"disabled" throughout the act. 
   (3) 
    (4)  Existing law authorizes the Solano County
Transportation Authority to claim up to 2% of local transportation
funds available under the Transportation Development Act for
countywide transit planning and coordination relative to Solano
County.
   This bill would authorize the authority to claim up to 2.7% of
those funds for these purposes. 
   (4) 
    (5)  Existing law creates transportation commissions or
authorities in certain counties, including Imperial and Los Angeles
Counties, with various responsibilities relating to transportation
planning and programming, among other things.
   This bill would update various obsolete references to the Imperial
County Transportation Commission and to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority to reflect their current names.

   (5) 
    (6)  Existing law provides for the California
Transportation Commission to adopt locations for state highways on
routes authorized by law, and provides for relinquishment of certain
segments of state highways from the state to local agencies.
   This bill would acknowledge the relinquishment of the portion of
Route 49 in the City of Auburn, the portions of Route 66 in the
Cities of Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and Claremont, the
portions of Route 74 in the Cities of Palm Desert and Lake Elsinor,
the portion of Route 92 in the City of Hayward, a portion of Route
110 in the City of Los Angeles, the portion of Route 111 in the City
of Cathedral City, the portion of Route 146 in the City of Soledad,
the portion of Route 178 in the City of Bakersfield, the portion of
Route 185 in the City of Hayward, the portion of Route 193 in the
City of Lincoln, the portions of Route 227 in the Cities of Arroyo
Grande and San Luis Obispo, and the portion of Route 238 in the City
of Hayward. 
   (6) 
    (7)  Existing law imposes excise taxes and sales and use
taxes on motor vehicle fuel, commonly known as gasoline, on jet
fuel, and on diesel fuel. Existing law requires the State Board of
Equalization to make specified annual adjustments to the tax rates to
ensure the revenue neutrality under previously enacted statutory
modifications of these tax rates, under which modifications certain
taxes increased while others decreased. Existing law requires
prepayment of a certain portion of the sales tax liability on these
fuels based on annual estimates made by the State Board of
Equalization that rely on a specified report of the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission to determine the
retail price of fuel.
   This bill would require the annual adjustments to sales tax
prepayment rates to be made at the same time as the annual
adjustments of the fuel tax rates, and would provide for the
prepayment rates to account for any changes in the fuel tax rates.
The bill would delete the reference to the specified report for
determining the retail price of fuels and would instead authorize the
board to rely on industry publications reporting that information.
The bill would make other related changes.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

surface and width of the path or walkway. 
   SEC. 2.   SEC. 3.   Section 29532.4 of
the Government Code is amended to read:
   29532.4.  (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (d) of Section 29532,
the county transportation commission created in the Counties of Los
Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino by Division 12
(commencing with Section 130000) of the Public Utilities Code shall
not be designated by the Director of Transportation as the
transportation planning agency for the area under its jurisdiction,
and the Imperial Valley Association of Governments in Imperial County
shall not be designated the transportation planning agency for the
area under its jurisdiction.
   (b) Notwithstanding Section 29532, for the purposes of Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 99200) of Part 11 of Division 10 of the
Public Utilities Code, "transportation planning agency" means the
county transportation commission created in the Counties of Los
Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura by Division
12 (commencing with Section 130000) of the Public Utilities Code, and
also includes the County Transportation Commission in Imperial
County. The county auditor in each of those counties shall pay to the
public transportation entities in the county the amounts allocated
by the respective commissions or that association of governments, as
the case may be.
   SEC. 3.   SEC. 4.   Section 99155 of the
Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99155.  (a) Each transit operator, whether publicly or privately
funded all or in part, nonprofit or for profit, which offers reduced
fares to senior citizens shall honor the federal Medicare
identification card as sufficient identification to receive reduced
fares. A transit operator which offers reduced fares to those senior
citizens who are less than 65 years old shall also honor the senior
citizen identification card issued pursuant to subdivision (b) of
Section 13000 of the Vehicle Code.
   (b) Each transit operator, whether publicly or privately funded,
in whole or in part, nonprofit or for profit, which offers reduced
fares pursuant to subdivision (a) shall also offer reduced fares to
disabled persons, as defined by Section 99206.5, disabled persons, as
defined by Section 295.5 of the Vehicle Code, and disabled veterans,
as defined by Section 295.7 of the Vehicle Code, at the same rate
established for senior citizens. A transit operator shall honor the
disabled person or disabled veteran placard identification card
issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 of the Vehicle Code.
   (c) Every transit operator that offers reduced fares to disabled
persons shall honor any current identification card that is valid for
the type of transportation service or discount requested and that
has been issued to an individual with a disability by another transit
operator.
   (d) This section also applies to any dial-a-ride, paratransit, or
nonfixed route operator which serves the disabled, but does not apply
to a private nonprofit entity which serves the disabled or elderly.
   (e) Nothing in this section prohibits a transit operator from
issuing its own identification card, except that no such card shall
be required to be presented in addition to either a federal Medicare
card or a card issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 of the Vehicle
Code.
   (f) A transit operator, as defined in subdivision (b), which
receives funds pursuant to the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act (Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 99200)), shall not require that a person
requesting transportation be a resident of that transit operator's
service area.
   SEC. 4.   SEC. 5.   Section 99155.5 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99155.5.  (a) The Legislature intends that dial-a-ride and
paratransit services be accessible to disabled persons, as defined in
Section 99206.5. It is intended that transportation service be
provided for employment, education, medical, and personal reasons.
Transportation for individuals with disabilities is a necessity, and
allows these persons to fully participate in our society.
   The Legislature finds and declares that the term "paratransit," as
used in the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101-336), refers to transportation services with specific
criteria of quality and quantity, and which are required to be made
available to limited classes of persons based on eligibility
categories; this is often referred to as "ADA paratransit" or
"complementary paratransit." The Legislature finds and declares that
the terms "paratransit" and "dial-a-ride," as used in the laws of
this state, apply to a broader range of transportation services and
that not all individuals with disabilities under the laws of this
state are eligible for "ADA paratransit" under the federal law.
   (b) Each transit operator, for profit or nonprofit, which
provides, or contracts for the provision of, dial-a-ride or
paratransit service for individuals with disabilities and which
receives public funding pursuant to the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act
(Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 99200)) for that service shall
provide the service without regard to either of the following:
   (1) Whether the person is a member of a household which owns a
motor vehicle.
   (2) Whether the place of residence of the person who requests
transportation service is within the service area of the provider. To
the extent that they are eligible for the specified service
requested, all persons requesting transportation service in the
service area of the provider shall be provided service on the same
terms and at the same price that service is provided to other persons
residing within the service area of the provider.
   (c) Subdivision (b) does not preclude a provider from offering a
subscription service, and does not require a reduction in the amount
the provider charges other public or private agencies.
   (d) Except as required by the federal Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) and federal regulations adopted
pursuant thereto or by higher standards prescribed by the laws of
this state, nothing in this section requires any transit operator
which provides service to individuals with disabilities in a manner
consistent with subdivision (b) to make those services available
outside the operator's established operating service area, or
requires the operator to make the presentation of identification a
condition to using the service.
   (e) A transit operator shall honor any current identification card
which is valid for the type of transportation service or discount
requested and which has been issued to an individual with
disabilities by another transit operator.
   (f) Any person who believes an operator has violated Section 99155
or 99155.5 may file a report of the alleged violation with the
transportation planning agency or county transportation commission.
Any individual with disabilities may request the Attorney General to
resolve any dispute as to compliance with Section 99155 or this
section.
   SEC. 5.   SEC. 6.   Section 99206.5 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99206.5.  "Disabled person" means any individual who by reason of
illness, injury, age, congenital malfunction, or other permanent or
temporary incapacity or disability, including, but not limited to,
any individual confined to a wheelchair, is unable, without special
facilities or special planning or design, to utilize public
transportation facilities and services as effectively as a person who
is not so affected.
   As used in this section, a temporary incapacity or disability is
an incapacity or a disability which lasts more than 90 days.
   SEC. 6.   SEC. 7.   Section 99207 of the
Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99207.  (a) "Included municipal operator" means a city or county
which is included, in whole or in part, within a transit district or
which has been extended the authority to join a transit district by
that district's enabling legislation, and in which city or county
public transportation services have continuously been provided, since
at least January 1, 1971, by the city or county, by a nonprofit
corporation or other legal entity wholly owned by the city or county,
or by the University of California.
   (b) "Included municipal operator" also means the City and County
of San Francisco and the Counties of Alameda and Contra Costa with
respect to any portion of the unincorporated area thereof, and any
city in those counties, which is outside the area of the
Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District and which is not receiving
adequate local public transportation services, as determined by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, from any of the transit
districts which includes the county or city, taking into
consideration, among other things, the amount of such services needed
in the county or city, the cost to provide such services, and the
amount of such services provided in other areas of the transit
district as compared to their needs.
   (c) "Included municipal operator" also means any city within the
County of Sacramento which (1) is outside the activated boundaries of
the Sacramento Regional Transit District, (2) contracts with the
district for transit services, and (3) provides local transit
services within the city that the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments annually determines can be better provided by the city
than the district, taking into consideration, among other things, the
amount and the nature of the services required in the city, the
ability of the district to provide the services, the coordination of
the services with district services, the remoteness of the city in
relation to other district services, the cost of providing the
services, the funds available to provide the services, and the amount
of services provided in other areas of the district compared to
their needs.
   (d) "Included municipal operator" also means any city or
unincorporated area within the County of Los Angeles (1) that is not
receiving adequate local public transportation services, as
determined by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority, from either the Southern California Rapid Transit District
or any currently "included municipal operator" as defined in this
section, and (2) that meets the criteria established by the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, taking into
consideration, among other things, the cost to provide such services,
the amount of such services needed in the county or city, the funds
available to provide such services, and the amount of such services
provided in other areas of the county as compared to their needs.
   SEC. 7.   SEC. 8.   Section 99214 of the
Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99214.  (a) "Transportation planning agency" means the entity
designated in Section 29532 of the Government Code.
   (b) "Transportation planning agency" also includes, for purposes
of this chapter, the county transportation commissions created in the
Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and
Ventura pursuant to Division 12 (commencing with Section 130000).
   (c) "Transportation planning agency" also includes, for purposes
of this chapter, the Imperial County Transportation Commission in
Imperial County.
   SEC. 8.   SEC. 9.   Section 99220 of the
Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99220.  The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
   (a) Public transportation is an essential component of the
balanced transportation system which must be maintained and developed
so as to permit the efficient and orderly movement of people and
goods in the urban areas of the state. Because public transportation
systems provide an essential public service, it is desirable that
such systems be designed and operated in such a manner as to
encourage maximum utilization of the efficiencies of the service for
the benefit of the total transportation system of the state and all
the people of the state, including the elderly, the disabled, the
youth, and the citizens of limited means.
   (b) The fostering, continuance, and development of public
transportation systems are a matter of state concern. Excessive
reliance on the private automobile for transportation has caused air
pollution and traffic congestion in California's urban areas, and
such pollution and congestion are not confined to single incorporated
areas but affect entire regions. Furthermore, public transportation
systems which are not designed so as to be usable by disabled persons
foster increased welfare costs and the waste of human resources.
Thus, the Legislature has elected to deal with the multiple problems
caused by lack of adequate public transportation on a regional basis
through the counties, with coordination of the programs being the
responsibility of the state pursuant to contract with county
governments.
   (c) While providing county assistance to a particular
transportation system may not be of primary interest and benefit to
each and every taxpayer in a county, providing an integrated and
coordinated system to meet the public transportation needs of an
entire county will benefit the county as a whole. It is the purpose
of this chapter to provide for such systems in those counties where
they are needed.
   (d) The local transportation funds authorized by Article 11
(commencing with Section 29530) of Chapter 2 of Division 3 of Title 3
of the Government Code are made possible by the imposition of the
state's sales and use taxes on motor vehicle fuel, which allows for a
reduction in state taxes without a corresponding loss in revenue. By
authorizing counties to increase their sales and use taxes, an
additional source of revenue has been made available for public
transportation within such counties. Applicants for a disbursement
from a local transportation fund shall only be eligible for an
allocation from the fund of the county in which such transportation
is provided.
   SEC. 9.  SEC. 10.   Section 99233.12 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99233.12.  Notwithstanding anything in Sections 99233 to 99233.9,
inclusive, to the contrary, the Solano Transportation Authority may
file a claim, and the transportation planning agency may allocate,
for the area representing the cumulative areas of the authority's
member agencies, up to 2.7 percent of annual revenues for countywide
transit planning and coordination purposes relative to Solano County.
Funds allocated to the authority pursuant to this section shall be
allocated after allocations are made pursuant to Sections 99233.1 and
99233.2 but prior to other allocations.
   SEC. 10.   SEC. 11.   Section 99238 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99238.  Each transportation planning agency shall provide for the
establishment of a social services transportation advisory council
for each county, or counties operating under a joint powers
agreement, which is not subject to the apportionment restriction
established in Section 99232.
   (a) The social services transportation advisory council shall
consist of the following members:
   (1) One representative of potential transit users who is 60 years
of age or older.
   (2) One representative of potential transit users who is disabled.

   (3) Two representatives of the local social service providers for
seniors, including one representative of a social service
transportation provider, if one exists.
   (4) Two representatives of local social service providers for the
disabled, including one representative of a social service
transportation provider, if one exists.
   (5) One representative of a local social service provider for
persons of limited means.
   (6) Two representatives from the local consolidated transportation
service agency, designated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section
15975 of the Government Code, if one exists, including one
representative from an operator, if one exists.
   (7) The transportation planning agency may appoint additional
members in accordance with the procedure prescribed in subdivision
(b).
   (b) Members of the social services transportation advisory council
shall be appointed by the transportation planning agency which shall
recruit candidates for appointment from a broad representation of
social service and transit providers representing the elderly, the
disabled, and persons of limited means. In appointing council
members, the transportation planning agency shall strive to attain
geographic and minority representation among council members. Of the
initial appointments to the council, one-third of them shall be for a
one-year term, one-third shall be for a two-year term, and one-third
shall be for a three-year term. Subsequent to the initial
appointment, the term of appointment shall be for three years, which
may be renewed for an additional three-year term. The transportation
planning agency may, at its discretion, delegate its responsibilities
for appointment pursuant to this subdivision to the board of
supervisors.
   (c) The social services transportation advisory council shall have
the following responsibilities:
   (1) Annually participate in the identification of transit needs in
the jurisdiction, including unmet transit needs that may exist
within the jurisdiction of the council and that may be reasonable to
meet by establishing or contracting for new public transportation or
specialized transportation services or by expanding existing
services.
   (2) Annually review and recommend action by the transportation
planning agency for the area within the jurisdiction of the council
which finds, by resolution, that (A) there are no unmet transit
needs, (B) there are no unmet transit needs that are reasonable to
meet, or (C) there are unmet transit needs, including needs that are
reasonable to meet.
   (3) Advise the transportation planning agency on any other major
transit issues, including the coordination and consolidation of
specialized transportation services.
   (d) It is the intent of the Legislature that duplicative advisory
councils shall not be established where transit advisory councils
currently exist and that those existing advisory councils shall,
instead, become part of the social services transportation advisory
council and shall assume any new responsibilities pursuant to this
section.
   SEC. 11.   SEC. 12.   Section 99238.5 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99238.5.  (a) The transportation planning agency shall ensure the
establishment and implementation of a citizen participation process
appropriate for each county, or counties if operating under a joint
powers agreement, utilizing the social services transportation
advisory council as a mechanism to solicit the input of transit
dependent and transit disadvantaged persons, including the elderly,
disabled, and persons of limited means. The process shall include
provisions for at least one public hearing in the jurisdiction
represented by the social services transportation advisory council.
Hearings shall be scheduled to ensure broad community participation
and, if possible, the location of the hearings shall be rotated among
the various communities within the advisory council's jurisdiction.
Notice of the hearing, including the date, place, and specific
purpose of the hearing shall be given at least 30 days in advance
through publication in a newspaper of general circulation. The
transportation planning agency shall also send written notification
to those persons and organizations which have indicated, through its
citizen participation or any other source of information, an interest
in the subject of the hearing.
   (b) In addition to public hearings, the transportation planning
agency shall consider other methods of obtaining public feedback on
public transportation needs. Those methods may include, but are not
limited to, teleconferencing, questionnaires, telecanvassing, and
electronic mail.
  SEC. 12.   SEC. 13.   Section 99260.7 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99260.7.  In order to provide, or to contract to provide,
transportation services using vehicles for the exclusive use of
elderly or disabled persons, a city or a county, which is
contributing funds it is eligible to receive under this article to a
joint powers agency of which it is a member to operate a public
transportation system, may also file a claim under this article and
may also file a claim for funds made available pursuant to Section
99313.
   SEC. 13.  SEC. 14.   Section 99262 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99262.  Claims for public transportation systems may include
claims for money for all purposes necessary and convenient to the
development and operation of the system, including planning and
contributions to the transportation planning process, acquisition of
real property, construction of facilities and buildings, purchase and
replacement of vehicles (including those usable by disabled
persons), and system operation, maintenance, and repair, payment for
any of which purposes may take the form of direct expenditures or
payment of principal and interest on equipment trust certificates,
bonded or other indebtedness, or any amounts in accomplishment of a
defeasance of any outstanding revenue bond indenture.
   SEC. 14.   SEC. 15.   Section 99268.5 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99268.5.  (a) Commencing with claims for the 1980-81 fiscal year,
no funds shall be allocated under this article in any fiscal year to
an operator providing services using vehicles for the exclusive use
of elderly and disabled persons, unless the operator maintains, for
the fiscal year, a ratio of fare revenues to operating cost, as
defined by subdivision (a) of Section 99247, for those services at
least equal to one-tenth or to the ratio it had for those services
during the 1978-79 fiscal year, whichever is greater.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), an operator which provides
both exclusive transportation services for elderly and disabled
persons and regular scheduled public transportation services may be
allocated funds under this article for the exclusive service if the
combined services qualify under Section 99268.1, 99268.2, 99268.3, or
99268.4, as the case may be, and the ratio of fare revenues to
operating cost for the combined service shall not be less than the
ratio required in order to make allocations to the operator for its
regular scheduled services.
   (c) In a county which had less than 500,000 population as
determined by the 1970 federal decennial census and more than 500,000
in population as determined by the 1980 or 1990 federal decennial
census, an operator in the county shall maintain a ratio of fare
revenues to operating cost, as defined by subdivision (a) of Section
99247, at least equal to one-fifth if serving an urbanized area or
one-tenth if serving a nonurbanized area.
   SEC. 15.   SEC. 16.   Section 99285.2 of

   99285.2.   Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 99285, any
county transportation commission created pursuant to Division 12

                   approve only those claims submitted for its
approval.
   SEC. 16.   SEC. 17.   Section 99401.5 of
the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:
   99401.5.  Prior to making any allocation not directly related to
public transportation services, specialized transportation services,
or facilities provided for the exclusive use of pedestrians and
bicycles, or any allocation for purposes of subdivision (f) of
Section 99400, the transportation planning agency shall annually do
all of the following:
   (a) Consult with the social services transportation advisory
council established pursuant to Section 99238.
   (b) Identify the transit needs of the jurisdiction which have been
considered as part of the transportation planning process, including
the following:
   (1) An annual assessment of the size and location of identifiable
groups likely to be transit dependent or transit disadvantaged,
including, but not limited to, the elderly, the disabled, including
individuals eligible for paratransit and other special transportation
services pursuant to Section 12143 of Title 42 of the United States
Code, the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C.
Sec. 12101 et seq.), and persons of limited means, including, but not
limited to, recipients under the CalWORKs program.
   (2) An analysis of the adequacy of existing public transportation
services and specialized transportation services, including privately
and publicly provided services necessary to implement the plan
prepared pursuant to Section 12143(c)(7) of Title 42 of the United
States Code, in meeting the transit demand identified pursuant to
paragraph (1).
   (3) An analysis of the potential alternative public transportation
and specialized transportation services and service improvements
that would meet all or part of the transit demand.
   (4) An analysis of the need to acquire or lease vans and related
equipment for a farmworker vanpool program pursuant to subdivision
(f) of Section 99400. This analysis is only required, however, upon
receipt by the transportation planning agency of a request of an
interested party identifying a potential need.
   (c) Identify the unmet transit needs of the jurisdiction and those
needs that are reasonable to meet. The transportation planning
agency shall hold at least one public hearing pursuant to Section
99238.5 for the purpose of soliciting comments on the unmet transit
needs that may exist within the jurisdiction and that might be
reasonable to meet by establishing or contracting for new public
transportation or specialized transportation services or by expanding
existing services. The definition adopted by the transportation
planning agency for the terms "unmet transit needs" and "reasonable
to meet" shall be documented by resolution or in the minutes of the
agency. The fact that an identified transit need cannot be fully met
based on available resources shall not be the sole reason for finding
that a transit need is not reasonable to meet. An agency's
determination of needs that are reasonable to meet shall not be made
by comparing unmet transit needs with the need for streets and roads.

   (d) Adopt by resolution a finding for the jurisdiction, after
consideration of all available information compiled pursuant to
subdivisions (a), (b), and (c). The finding shall be that (1) there
are no unmet transit needs, (2) there are no unmet transit needs that
are reasonable to meet, or (3) there are unmet transit needs,
including needs that are reasonable to meet. The resolution shall
include information developed pursuant to subdivisions (a), (b), and
(c) which provides the basis for the finding.
   (e) If the transportation planning agency adopts a finding that
there are unmet transit needs, including needs that are reasonable to
meet, then the unmet transit needs shall be funded before any
allocation is made for streets and roads within the jurisdiction.
   (f) The transportation planning agency shall not allocate funds
for purposes of subdivision (f) of Section 99400 until all of the
capital and operating funds necessary to meet unmet transit needs
that are reasonable to meet are allocated. The transportation
planning agency shall not reduce funding to existing public
transportation services, specialized transportation services, or
facilities for the exclusive use of pedestrians and bicycles in order
to allocate funds for purposes of subdivision (f) of Section 99400.
The transportation planning agency shall not allocate funds under
subdivision (f) of Section 99400 if the allocation replaces other
federal, state, or local funds used to fund commuter vanpools by a
county, city, transportation planning agency, or transit district.
   SEC. 17.   SEC. 18.   Section 6480.1 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read:
   6480.1.  (a) At any time that motor vehicle fuel tax or diesel
fuel tax is imposed or would be imposed, but for the dyed diesel fuel
exemption in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 60100, or
the train operator exemption in paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) of
Section 60100 or paragraph (11) of subdivision (a) of Section 7401,
or, pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 6480, would be deemed to
be imposed, on any removal, entry, or sale in this state of motor
vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, the supplier shall
collect prepayment of retail sales tax from the person to whom the
motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel is sold.
However, if no sale occurs at the time of imposition of motor vehicle
fuel tax or diesel fuel tax, the supplier shall prepay the retail
sales tax on that motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel
fuel. The prepayment required to be collected by the supplier
constitutes a debt owed by the supplier to this state until paid to
the board, until satisfactory proof has been submitted to prove that
the retailer of the fuel has paid the retail sales tax to the board,
or until a supplier or wholesaler who has consumed the fuel has paid
the use tax to the board. Each supplier shall report and pay the
prepayment amounts to the board, in a form as prescribed by the
board, in the period in which the fuel is sold. On each subsequent
sale of that fuel, each seller, other than the retailer, shall
collect from his or her purchaser a prepayment computed using the
rate applicable at the time of sale. Each supplier shall provide his
or her purchaser with an invoice for, or other evidence of, the
collection of the prepayment amounts which shall be separately stated
thereon.
   (b) (1) A wholesaler shall collect prepayment of the retail sales
tax from the person to whom the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet
fuel, or diesel fuel is sold. Each wholesaler shall provide his or
her purchaser with an invoice for or other evidence of the collection
of the prepayment amounts, which shall be separately stated thereon.

   (2) Each wholesaler shall report to the board, in a form as
prescribed by the board and for the period in which the motor vehicle
fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel was sold, all of the
following:
   (A) The number of gallons of fuel sold and the amount of sales tax
prepayments collected by the wholesaler.
   (B) The number of tax-paid gallons purchased and the amount of
sales tax prepayments made by the wholesaler.
   (C) In the event that the amount of sales tax prepayments
collected by the wholesaler is greater than the amount of sales tax
prepayments made by the wholesaler, then the excess constitutes a
debt owed by the wholesaler to the state until paid to the board, or
until satisfactory proof has been submitted that the retailer of the
fuel has paid the tax to the board.
   (c) A supplier or wholesaler who pays the prepayment and issues a
resale certificate to the seller, but subsequently consumes the motor
vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, or diesel fuel, shall be entitled
to a credit against his or her sales and use taxes due and payable
for the period in which the prepayment was made, provided that he or
she reports and pays the use tax to the board on the consumption of
that fuel.
   (d) The amount of a prepayment paid by the retailer or a supplier
or wholesaler who has consumed the motor vehicle fuel, aircraft jet
fuel, or diesel fuel to the seller from whom he or she acquired the
fuel shall constitute a credit against his or her sales and use taxes
due and payable for the period in which the sale was made. Failure
of the supplier or wholesaler to report prepayments or the supplier's
or wholesaler's failure to comply with any other duty under this
article shall not constitute grounds for denial of the credit to the
retailer, supplier, or wholesaler, either on a temporary or permanent
basis or otherwise. To be entitled to the credit, the retailer,
supplier, or wholesaler shall retain for inspection by the board any
receipts, invoices, or other documents showing the amount of sales
tax prepaid to his or her supplier, together with the evidence of
payment.
   (e) The rate of the prepayment required to be collected during the
period from July 1, 1986, through March 31, 1987, shall be four
cents ($0.04) per gallon of motor vehicle fuel distributed or
transferred.
   (f) The rate of prepayment required to be collected for motor
vehicle fuel, aircraft jet fuel, and diesel fuel as established by
the board in effect on January 1, 2013, shall remain in effect
through June 30, 2013.
   (g) On July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for motor vehicle fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one
cent ($0.005), of the required prepayment shall be established by
the board based upon 80 percent of the combined state and local sales
tax rate established by Sections 6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 7202,
and 7203.1, and Section 35 of Article XIII of the California
Constitution on the arithmetic average selling price (excluding sales
tax) as reported by an industry publication of all grades of
gasoline sold through a self-service gasoline station. The board
shall make its determination of the rate no later than March 1 of the
same year as the effective date of the new rate. Immediately upon
making its determination and setting of the rate, the board shall
each year, no later than May 1, notify every supplier, wholesaler,
and retailer of motor vehicle fuel. In the event the price of fuel
decreases or increases or an exemption from sales tax for sales of
fuel is enacted, and the established rate results in or could result
in prepayments which consistently exceed or are significantly lower
than the retailers' sales tax liability, the board may readjust the
rate.
   (h) On July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for aircraft jet fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one
cent ($0.005), shall be established by the board based upon 80
percent of the combined state and local sales tax rate established by
Sections 6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 7202, and 7203.1, and Section
35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution on the arithmetic
average selling price (excluding sales and state excise tax) as
determined by the board. The board shall make its determination of
the rate no later than March 1 of the year prior to the effective
date of the new rate. The rate of the prepayment required to be
collected for aircraft jet fuel shall be equal to 80 percent of the
arithmetic average selling price of aircraft jet fuel as specified by
industry publications. Immediately upon making its determination and
setting of the rate, the board shall each year, no later than May 1,
notify every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of aircraft jet
fuel. In the event the price of aircraft jet fuel decreases or
increases, and the established rate results in prepayments that
consistently exceed or are significantly lower than the retailers'
sales tax liability, the board may readjust the rate.
   (i) On July 1 of each succeeding year, the prepayment rate per
gallon for diesel fuel, rounded to the nearest one-half of one cent
($0.005), shall be established by the board based upon 80 percent of
the combined state and local sales tax rate established by Sections
6051, 6051.2, 6051.3, 6051.5, 6051.8, 7202, and 7203.1, and Section
35 of Article XIII of the California Constitution on the arithmetic
average selling price (excluding sales and state excise tax) as
determined by the board. The board shall make its determination of
the rate no later than March 1 of the same year as the effective date
of the new rate. The rate of the prepayment required to be collected
for diesel fuel shall be equal to 80 percent of the arithmetic
average selling price of diesel fuel as specified by industry
publications. Immediately upon making its determination and setting
of the rate, the board shall each year, no later than May 1, notify
every supplier, wholesaler, and retailer of diesel fuel. In the event
the rate of sales tax imposed on sales of diesel fuel increases or
decreases or the price of diesel fuel decreases or increases, and the
established rate results in or could result in prepayments that
consistently exceed or are significantly lower than the retailers'
sales tax liability, the board may readjust the rate.
   (j) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, motor
vehicle fuel sold by a supplier or wholesaler to a qualified
purchaser who, pursuant to a contract with the State of California or
its instrumentalities, resells that fuel to the State of California
or its instrumentalities shall be exempt from the prepayment
requirements.
   (2) A qualified purchaser who acquires motor vehicle fuel for
subsequent resale to the State of California or its instrumentalities
pursuant to this subdivision shall furnish to the supplier or
wholesaler from whom the fuel is acquired an exemption certificate,
completed in accordance with any instructions or regulations as the
board may prescribe. The supplier or wholesaler shall retain the
certificate in his or her records in support of the exemption. To
qualify for the prepayment exemption, both of the following
conditions shall apply:
   (A) The qualified purchaser does not take possession of the fuel
at any time.
   (B) The fuel is delivered into storage tanks owned or leased by
the State of California or its instrumentalities via facilities of
the supplier or wholesaler, or by common or contract carriers under
contract with the supplier or wholesaler.
   (3) For purposes of this subdivision, "qualified purchaser" means
a wholesaler who does not have or maintain a storage facility or
facilities for the purpose of selling motor vehicle fuel.

rate per gallon, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cent, by
multiplying the average retail price per gallon (including the

price per gallon shall be the average of weekly retail prices for the
12-month period ending August 31 of the year prior to the effective
date of the new rate. In determining the average retail price per
gallon, the board shall use the weekly average retail price published
by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development
Commission, in its publication "Fuel Price And Supply Update." In the
event the "Fuel Price And Supply Update" is delayed or discontinued,
the board may base its determination on other sources of the average
retail price of diesel fuel. The board shall make its determination
of the rate no later than October 1 of the year prior to the
effective date of the new rate.
   (b) The tax rate established by the board on January 1, 2013,
shall remain in effect only through June 30, 2013.
   (c) Commencing on July 1, 2013, and on each July 1 thereafter, the

on the last day of January prior to the effective date of the new
rate. In determining the average retail price per gallon, the board
shall use the weekly average retail price as reported by the United
States Energy Information Administration (EIA). In the event the EIA
information is delayed or discontinued, the board may base its
determination on other sources of the average retail price of diesel
fuel. The board shall make its determination of the rate no later
than March 1 of the same year as the effective date of the new rate.
