A transportation funding deal between the Governor and Senate and Assembly leadership is close, anticipated by April 6. Rumors are swirling but no firm details have been disclosed formally as of this writing. Staff will provide an update at the meeting.
Attached is the updated bill list as of March 27, 2017. Changes since the March 22 TAMC bill list are indicated with underline and cross-out. Several bills were added to the list with "watch" positions.
Recommended changes in Board positions include:
- AB 1421 (Dababneh): Railroads: noise and vibration levels - this bill was changed to a study on noise and vibration. Staff recommends changing Agency position from "oppose" to "watch".
- SCA 2 (Newman): Motor vehicle fees and taxes: restriction on expenditures - staff recommends supporting this constitutional amendment prohibiting borrowing of transportation revenues.
Staff and consultant will present the updated bill list.
