LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 101, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Budget Act of 2017. State agencies.

(1) The State Building Construction Act of 1955 authorizes the State Public Works Board, among other things, to construct public buildings, contract with other state agencies for the use of real property upon which to construct a public building, fix, alter, charge, and collect rentals and other charges for the use of public buildings or for the services rendered by the board, and issue certificates or revenue bonds to obtain funds to pay the cost of public buildings. The act requires all money received by the board to be deposited to the credit of the Public Buildings Construction Fund and requires 3 separate accounts to be maintained within the fund, including a construction account, a revenue account, and a sinking fund account. The act requires proceeds from the sale of certificates or revenue bonds to be deposited in the construction account, revenues, rentals, or receipts received from the operation of public buildings to be deposited in the revenue fund, and certain other revenues to be set aside in separate sinking fund accounts. The act requires the money in each revenue account to be expended for, among other things, the costs of operation and maintenance of public buildings, including administrative expenses of the board.

This bill would revise and recast those provisions by, among other things, eliminating the requirement that 3 separate accounts be maintained in the fund as provided above, and would, instead, require subfunds, accounts, and subaccounts to be maintained within the fund for the operation of the board and the performance of its obligations as provided in the applicable resolution, indenture, or other agreement. The bill would create an Expense Account within the fund into which would be deposited amounts received by the board as additional rental under any of its leases and any other money received by the board, other than proceeds of certificates or revenue bonds, as directed by the board. The bill would continuously appropriate, without regard to fiscal years, from the Expense Account to the board the amount necessary to pay for the administrative expenses and costs associated with the implementation of the act.

(2) Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt and implement standards for the control of emissions from new motor vehicles that the state board finds to be necessary and technologically feasible. Existing law imposes specified civil penalties on manufacturers and distributors that violate specified motor vehicle emissions standards.

This bill would require a report prepared by the lead agency appointed by the Governor relative to the implementation of a partial consent decree between the state board and certain motor vehicle manufacturers and distributors to include an evaluation of how the investment plan for expenditure of moneys received under the partial consent decree impacts the competitiveness of the charging infrastructure market.

(3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2017.
