AB 2340: Local transportation authority: Fresno Council of Governments.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law authorizes cities and counties, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, to levy a transactions and use tax for general or specific purposes in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Transactions and Use Tax Law.

If a citizens’ initiative measure that imposes a retail transactions and use tax in the County of Fresno, as specified, is adopted by the electors of the County of Fresno and becomes effective, this bill would designate the Fresno Council of Governments as a local transportation authority for purposes of the citizens’ initiative measure. The bill would authorize the Fresno Council of Governments to receive and allocate the proceeds of the retail transactions and use tax and to otherwise serve as the administering agency for purposes of that citizens’ initiative.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Fresno Council of Governments.
