CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2001–2002 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 1039

Introduced  by  Assembly Member Oropeza

February 23, 2001

An act to amend section 99233.2 of add Section 99162 to the Public Utilities Code, relating to transportation.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1039, as amended, Oropeza. Transportation agencies districts.
Under existing law, a violation of an ordinance, rule, or regulation enacted by the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board prohibiting unauthorized operation or manipulation of transit facilities owned, controlled, or used by the board, or prohibiting unauthorized tampering or interference with, or loitering in or about, those transit facilities is a crime, as specified.
This bill would enact similar provisions making it a crime to violate an ordinance, rule, or regulation enacted by a transit district prohibiting unauthorized operation or manipulation of transit facilities owned, controlled, or used by the transit district, or prohibiting unauthorized tampering or interference with, or loitering in or about, those transit facilities, as specified. Because a violation of this bill’s provisions would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law provides that in the area of the Southern California Association of Government the appropriate entities shall allocate up to34 of 1% of annual revenues on or before each July 1, to the multicounty designated transportation planning agency for the transportation planning and programming process. Existing law limits that allocation to $1,000,000 per year.

This bill would remove that limitation.

Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

Section 99233.2 of the Public Utilities Code is

SECTION 1.

99162.
 Violation of any ordinance, rule, or regulation enacted by a transit district established in Division 10 (commencing with Section 24501) prohibiting unauthorized operation or manipulation of transit facilities owned, controlled, or used by the transit district, or prohibiting unauthorized tampering or interference with, or loitering in or about, transit facilities owned, controlled, or used by the transit district, including, but not limited to, transit centers, rail stations, bus shelters, and bus stops on public and private property, is an infraction punishable by a fine not exceeding fifty dollars ($50), except that such a violation by a person, after the first conviction under this section, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment.

SEC. 2.

 No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
