   An act to amend Section 131102 of the Public Utilities Code,
relating to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1112, Ammiano. Transportation transactions and use taxes: Bay
Area.
   The Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act
authorizes the formation of county transportation authorities in each
of the 9 Bay Area counties, and provides for the imposition of a
retail transaction and use tax of either 1/2 of 1% or 1%, subject to
voter approval, with revenues to be used for various transportation
purposes. Existing law, however, limits the total rate of tax that
may be imposed in a county under these provisions and under the
Transactions and Use Tax Law to 1%.
   This bill would delete this limitation.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 131102 of the Public Utilities Code is amended
to read:
   131102.  (a) A retail transactions and use tax ordinance for a tax
of either one-half of 1 percent or 1 percent applicable in the
incorporated and unincorporated territory of a county may be imposed
by a county transportation authority or the commission in the manner
prescribed in Section 131103 and Part 1.6 (commencing with Section
7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, if two-thirds
of the electors voting on the measure vote to approve its imposition
at an election which shall be called for this purpose by the board of
supervisors within one year after the adoption of a county
transportation expenditure plan.
    (b) The ordinance shall take effect at the close of the polls on
the day of election at which the proposition, as set forth in Section
131108, is adopted. The ordinance shall specify the period, as
determined by the adopted county transportation expenditure plan
during which the tax will be imposed. The tax may be terminated
earlier if the projects in the adopted plan are completed and any
bonds outstanding issued pursuant to this division are redeemed.
