	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Quirk-Silva

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2013

   An act to amend Sections 13100 and 13101 of the Government Code,
relating to capital financing.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 716, as introduced, Quirk-Silva. Infrastructure plan: state
planning and funding.
   The California Infrastructure Planning Act requires the Governor
to submit annually to the Legislature, in conjunction with the
Governor's Budget, a proposed 5-year infrastructure plan containing
prescribed information. Existing law requires the plan to identify
state infrastructure needs and set out priorities for funding. The
plan defines the term "infrastructure" to mean real property,
including land and improvements to the land, structures, and
equipment integral to the operation of structures, easements,
rights-of-way, and other forms of interest in property, roadways, and
water conveyances.
   This bill would additionally require the plan to set out
priorities for coordination of investment. The bill would expand the
definition of infrastructure to include housing.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 13100 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   13100.  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
article that the state shall establish and annually update a
five-year plan for funding infrastructure. The plan shall include
input by the Legislature as provided in Section 13104. The plan shall
identify state infrastructure needs and set out priorities for
funding  and coordination of investment  . The plan need not
identify specific infrastructure projects to be funded, but it shall
be sufficiently detailed to provide a clear understanding of the
type and amount of infrastructure to be funded and the programmatic
objectives to be achieved by this funding. The plan is intended to
complement the existing state budget process for appropriating funds
for infrastructure by providing a comprehensive guideline for the
types of projects to be funded through that process.
  SEC. 2.  Section 13101 of the Government Code is amended to read:
   13101.  As used in this article, "infrastructure" means real
property, including land and improvements to the land, structures and
equipment integral to the operation of structures, easements,
rights-of-way and other forms of interest in property, roadways, 
housing,  and water conveyances.
