No. 636

February 14, 2017

An act to amend Section 2151 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to transportation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 636, as introduced, Irwin. Local streets and roads: expenditure reports.

Existing law provides for a portion of gasoline excise tax revenues in the Highway Users Tax Account to be distributed by formula to cities based on their population and to counties based on their number of registered vehicles and maintained miles of county roads. Existing law, with limited exceptions, requires each city and county to submit to the Controller a complete report of expenditures for street and road purposes by October 1 of each year relative to the preceding fiscal year ending on June 30.

This bill would instead require the report to be submitted to the Controller within 7 months after the close of the fiscal year adopted by a city or county. The bill would make other conforming changes.
