Title

State Legislative Status Report

 

Overview

An update is provided on a bill related to the planning and operations of the network of toll roads in Orange County.  An oppose position is recommended on a bill related to pension liabilities for joint powers authorities.  Overviews are provided of two bills being supported pursuant to the 2017-2018 Orange County Transportation Authority State Legislative Platform.  The first bill pertains to three-position bicycle racks on articulated buses, and the second one relates to the cost of electricity as a fuel for transit agencies preparing for zero-emission bus technology.

 

Recommendation(s)

Adopt an OPPOSE position on AB 1912 (Rodriguez, D-Pomona), which would make member agencies of a joint powers authority jointly and severally liable for the retirement benefits provided by the joint powers authority.
