	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1455, as amended, Rodriguez. Ontario International Airport.
   The California Airport District Act provides for creation of
airport districts having responsibility for the development of
airports, spaceports, and air navigation facilities within or
including the territories of one or more counties or cities.
   This bill would authorize the City of Ontario to issue revenue
bonds, for the purpose of financing the acquisition of the Ontario
International Airport from the City of Los Angeles, that are secured
solely by the revenues and charges at the Ontario International
Airport. The bill would require a public agency that acquires the
Ontario International Airport to comply with specified conditions
relating to incumbent workers, except as provided.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
