LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1442, as introduced, Travis Allen. Bonds: transportation: water projects.

Existing law, the Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century, approved by the voters as Proposition 1A at the November 4, 2008, general election, provides for the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $9 billion for high-speed rail purposes and $950 million for other related rail purposes. Article XVI of the California Constitution requires measures authorizing general obligation bonds to specify the single object or work to be funded by the bonds and further requires a bond act to be approved by a ²/₃ vote of each house of the Legislature and a majority of the voters.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to redirect the high-speed rail bond act funds to water projects.
