LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 716, as amended, 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 and include an
analysis of investment coordination opportunities for
capital outlay related to infill and transit- oriented
development . The bill would expand the definition of
infrastructure to include housing.
Existing law creates the Strategic Growth Council consisting of
various state agencies, with certain powers and duties relative to
the identification and review of activities and funding programs of
those agencies in order to improve air and water quality, improve
natural resource protection, increase the availability of affordable
housing, improve transportation, meet the goals of the California
Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, encourage sustainable land use
planning, and revitalize urban and community centers in a sustainable
manner. Existing law requires the council to review and comment on
the infrastructure plan submitted by the Governor.
This bill would require the council to hold a public
hearing and submit its comments on the plan to the Legislature prior
to submission of the plan by the Governor . The
bill would require the council to identify how the plan components
improve air and water quality, improve natural resource protection,
increase the availability of affordable housing, improve
transportation, meet the goals of the California Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006, encourage sustainable land use planning, and
revitalize urban and community centers in a sustainable manner.
to submit the plan with the assistance of the
Strategic Growth Council.
