LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1433, as introduced, Kopp. Transportation: bridges: . seismic safety: vehicle fuel taxes. (1) Existing law establishes a program for retrofitting state-owned and local bridges that have seismic structural deficiencies and appropriates funds from the Seismic Safety Retrofit Account in the State Transportation Fund for that purpose. This bill would, for the period commencing on July 1, 1994, and ending January 1,1998, impose a 2 per gallon surcharge on the taxes on vehicle fuel imposed by the Vehicle Fuel License Tax Law (gas tax) and the Use Fuel Tax Law (diesel tax) . The bill would require the proceeds of the surcharge to be . deposited in the Seismic Safety Retrofit Account, which the bill would rename the Seismic Safety Retrofit and Repair Account, and would appropriate the amount so deposited to the Department of Transportation for the 1994-9.5 fiscal year, to be used exclusively for the repair or correction of seismic structural deficiencies or replacement of specified bridges, including state-owned toll bridges. The bill would provide that funds for the department for subsequent fiscal years shall be appropriated in the annual Budget Act. The money so expended would not be subject to provisions requiring certain funds expended for highways to be allocated between counties in the northern and southern portions of the state (north-south split) and ' requiring minimum expenditures in counties (county minimums). The bill would prohibit the appropriation or expenditure of funds in the State Highway Account in the State Transportation Fund for any project that would be eligible for funding under this bill. (2) The bill would impose a tax for purposes of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
