(6) If a city or county fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (2) in a particular fiscal year, the city or county may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is not less than the total amount required to be expended for those fiscal years for purposes of complying with paragraph (2).

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. (h) (1) For the purpose of allocating funds under paragraph (4) or (5) of subdivision (c) to counties, cities, and a city and county, the Controller shall use the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit of the Department of Finance. For a city that incorporated after January 1, 1998, that does not appear on the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit, the Controller shall use the population determined for that city under Section 11005.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (2) The amendments made to Section 11005.3 by the act adding this paragraph shall not apply to a population determination under paragraph (1). (i) This section shall become inoperative on the date that all encumbrances incurred for the projects funded under paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) have been liquidated or on June 30, 2008, whichever date is later, and as of the January 1 immediately following that date is repealed.

(d) Funds received under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) shall be deposited as follows in order to avoid the commingling of those funds with other local funds: (1) In the case of a city, into the city account that is designated for the receipt of state funds allocated for transportation purposes. (2) In the case of a county, into the county road fund. (3) In the case of a city and county, into a local account that is designated for the receipt of state funds allocated for transportation purposes. (e) Funds allocated to a city, county, or city and county under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) shall be used only for street and highway maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm damage repair. For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings: (1) “Maintenance” means either or both of the following: (A) Patching. (B) Overlay and sealing. (2) “Reconstruction” includes any overlay, sealing, or widening of the roadway, if the widening is necessary to bring the roadway width to the desirable minimum width consistent with the geometric design criteria of the department for 3R (reconstruction, resurfacing, and rehabilitation) projects that are not on a freeway, but does not include widening for the purpose of increasing the traffic capacity of a street or highway. (3) “Storm damage repair” is repair or reconstruction of local streets and highways and related drainage improvements that have been damaged due to winter storms and flooding, and construction of drainage improvements to mitigate future roadway flooding and damage problems, in those jurisdictions that have been declared disaster areas by the President of the United States, where the costs of those repairs are ineligible for emergency funding with Federal Emergency Relief (ER) funds or Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) funds. (f) (1) Cities and counties shall maintain their existing commitment of local funds for street and highway maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm damage repair in order to remain eligible for the allocation of funds pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c). (2) In order to receive any allocation pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c), the city or county shall annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years, as reported to the Controller pursuant to Section 2151 of the Streets and Highways Code. For purposes of this paragraph, in calculating a city’s or county’s annual general fund expenditures and its average general fund expenditures for the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years, any unrestricted funds that the city or county may expend at its discretion, including vehicle in-lieu tax revenues and revenues from fines and forfeitures, expended for street and highway purposes shall be considered expenditures from the general fund. One-time allocations that have been expended for street and highway purposes, but which may not be available on an ongoing basis, including revenue provided under the Teeter Plan Bond Law of 1994 (Chapter 6.6 (commencing with Section 54773) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), may not be considered when calculating a city’s or county’s annual general fund expenditures. (3) For any city incorporated after July 1, 1996, the Controller shall calculate an annual average of expenditure for the period between July 1, 1996, and December 31, 2000, inclusive, that the city was incorporated. (4) For purposes of paragraph (2), the Controller may request fiscal data from cities and counties in addition to data provided pursuant to Section 2151, for the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years. Each city and county shall furnish the data to the Controller not later than 120 days after receiving the request. The Controller may withhold payment to cities and counties that do not comply with the request for information or that provide incomplete data. (5) The Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with paragraph (2) when deemed necessary. Any city or county that has not complied with paragraph (2) shall reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply with paragraph (2) shall be reallocated to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance. (6) If a city or county fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (2) in a particular fiscal year, the city or county may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is not less than the total amount required to be expended for those fiscal years for purposes of complying with paragraph (2). (7) The allocation made under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) shall be expended not later than the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the allocation was made, and any funds not expended within that period shall be returned to the Controller and shall be reallocated to the other cities and counties pursuant to the allocation formulas set forth in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c). (g) For the purpose of allocating funds under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) to counties, cities, and a city and county, the Controller shall use the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit of the Department of Finance. For a city that incorporated after January 1, 2008, that does not appear on the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit, the Controller shall use the population determined for that city under Section 11005.3. (h) (1) Notwithstanding any other law, the quarterly apportionments scheduled to be made in October 2009 and January 2010 pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) shall be suspended and deferred until May 31, 2010. (2) For the purpose of meeting the cash obligations associated with ongoing budgeted costs, a city or county may make use of any cash balance in its city or county road fund, including that resulting from the receipt of funds pursuant to the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006 (Chapter 12.49 (commencing with Section 8879.20) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code (hereafter bond act)) for local street and road maintenance, during the period of this suspension, without the use of this cash being reflected as an expenditure of bond act funds, provided the cash is replaced once this suspension is repaid. Nothing in this paragraph shall change the fact that expenditures must be accrued and reflected from the appropriate funding sources for which the moneys were received and meet all requirements of those funding sources. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Controller may use the funds in the Transportation Investment Fund for cashflow loans to the General Fund as provided in Sections 16310 and 16381 of the Government Code. Any such loan shall be exempt from paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 16310 of the Government Code. Interest shall be paid on all moneys loaned to the General Fund and shall be computed at a rate determined by the Pooled Money Investment Board to be the current earning rate of the fund from which the money is loaned. This subdivision does not authorize any transfer that would interfere with the carrying out of the object for which these funds were created.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon order of the Department of Finance, all or some of the state agencies collecting revenue for, or spending from, the Transportation Investment Fund shall adjust budgeting, accounting, and reporting systems and documents so that unliquidated encumbrances, payables, and other accruals are not reflected in the fund balance in the Governor’s Budget fund condition display or the fund balance in the financial statements submitted to the Controller for the budgetary-legal basis annual report. (b) For the purposes of the Governor’s Budget, the balance of cash advanced from the Transportation Investment Fund to the Transportation Revolving Account, as jointly determined by the Department of Finance and the state agencies referenced in subdivision (a), shall be deemed as resources and cash available to the Transportation Investment Fund for budgeting purposes.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 7105. Section 7105.

(a) The Transportation Deferred Investment Fund is hereby created in the State Treasury. The Transportation Deferred Investment Fund is to be considered part of the Transportation Investment Fund, except as specifically required for accounting purposes, in order to facilitate the repayment and allocation of revenues consistent with paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 1 of Article XIX B of the California Constitution as provided in this section and Section 7106. (b) Pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code, the transfer of revenues from the General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund that would have otherwise been required under subdivision (a) of Section 1 of Article XIX B of the California Constitution was partially suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year. The amount of the transfer for the 2003–04 fiscal year was two hundred eighty-nine million dollars ($289,000,000). According to the State Board of Equalization calculations, with the concurrence of the Department of Finance, the amount of the transfer suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year was eight hundred sixty-seven million five hundred sixty-eight thousand dollars ($867,568,000). On or before June 30 of each fiscal year until June 30, 2016, the Controller shall transfer an amount from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund that is equal to the minimum repayment required by Article XIX B of the California Constitution. The repayment shall also include interest calculated at the Pooled Money Investment Account rate relative to the amounts that would otherwise have been available for the transportation programs described in paragraphs (2) to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104. The amount to be repaid by June 30, 2016, from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund from any funding source, excluding subdivision (d). The moneys deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to this subdivision are continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal years for disbursement in the manner and for the purposes set forth in this section. (c) The Controller, from the moneys deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) and Article XIX B of the California Constitution, shall make transfers and apportionments of those funds in the same manner and amounts that would have been made in the 2003–04 fiscal year from the Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104, as that section read on January 1, 2003, if the transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund had not been partially suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code, except that in the 2007–08 fiscal year any remaining principle or interest owed to the Public Transportation Account shall be repaid first before any other transfers are made. However, in making those transfers and apportionments, the Controller shall take into account and deduct therefrom any transfers and apportionments that were made from the Transportation Investment Fund in the 2003–04 fiscal year from funds made available pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 14557 of the Government Code. It is the intent of the Legislature that, upon completion of the transfer of funds pursuant to subdivision (b) from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund, each of the transportation programs that was to have been funded during the 2003–04 fiscal year from the Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104 of this code shall have received the amount of funding that the program would have received in the absence of the suspension of the transfer pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code. (d) The interest that is to be deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be allocated proportionately to each program element in paragraphs (2) to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104, based on the amount that each program did not receive in the 2003–04 fiscal year due to suspension of the transfer pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code. (e) Four hundred ninety-five million dollars ($495,000,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund for the purpose of paying a portion of the amount required to be paid pursuant to subdivision (b). The Controller shall make the payment immediately upon enactment of the statute amending this section in the 2005–06 Regular Session. Notwithstanding subdivision (c), these funds, shall be distributed as follows: (1) The first one hundred ninety-two million dollars ($192,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall remain in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to be used for projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 7104. (2) The next one hundred ninety-two million dollars ($192,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be distributed to cities and counties, as follows: (A) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to cities for the purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) of that section. (B) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to counties for the purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in paragraph (4) of subdivision (c) of that section. (3) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to the Public Transportation Account for allocation pursuant to Section 99312 of the Public Utilities Code. (4) Any funds remaining following the distributions required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) shall be transferred to the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund, and shall be deemed to be funds received by that fund in the 2003–04 fiscal year. (f) The Legislature finds and declares that continued investment in transportation is essential for the California economy. That investment reduces traffic congestion, assists in economic development, improves the condition of local streets and roads, and provides high-quality public transportation. (g) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon order of the Department of Finance, all or some of the state agencies collecting revenues for, or spending from, the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund shall adjust budgeting, accounting, and reporting systems and documents so that unliquidated encumbrances, payables, and other accruals are not reflected in the fund balance in the Governor’s Budget fund condition display or the fund balance in the financial statements submitted to the Controller for the budgetary-legal basis annual report. (2) For the purposes of the Governor’s Budget, the balance of cash advanced from the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to the Transportation Revolving Account, as jointly determined by the Department of Finance and the state agencies referenced in paragraph (1), shall be deemed as resources and cash available to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund for budgeting purposes. (3) This method shall be effective with the 2013–14 Governor’s Budget development process and may be applied to the 2011–12 data.
