LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 671, Corbett. State workforce infrastructure planning.
Existing law requires the Governor to submit to the Legislature annually in conjunction with the Governor’s Budget a proposed 5-year infrastructure plan. Existing law defines “infrastructure” and specifies the contents of the infrastructure plan.
This bill would additionally define “workforce infrastructure” as provisions for the delivery of public services essential to the viability of the California workforce. The bill would require the Governor to submit annually a proposed 5-year workforce infrastructure plan to include infrastructure needs for the provision of public instruction and public libraries.

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 13105 is added to the Government Code, to read:

13105.
 (a) As used in this section, “workforce infrastructure” means provisions for the delivery of public services essential to the viability of the California workforce.
(b) In conjunction with the Governor’s Budget submitted pursuant to Section 13337 and with the physical infrastructure plan submitted pursuant to Section 13102, the Governor shall submit annually a proposed five-year workforce infrastructure plan to the Legislature. This plan shall cover a five-fiscal-year period beginning with the fiscal year that is the same as that covered by the Governor’s Budget with which it is being submitted.
The workforce infrastructure plan shall contain information for the five years that it covers about the infrastructure needs for the provision of public instruction and public libraries.
(c) The estimated cost of providing the infrastructure identified in subdivision (b).
(d) A proposal for funding the infrastructure identified in subdivision (b), that includes all of the following:
(1) Criteria and priorities used to identify and select the infrastructure it does propose to fund, including criteria used to identify and select infrastructure that by January 1, 2005, shall be consistent with the state planning priorities specified pursuant to Section 65041.1 for infrastructure requested by state agencies pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).
(2) Sources of funding, including, but not limited to, the General Fund, state special funds, federal funds, general obligation bonds, lease-revenue bonds, and installment purchases.
(3) An evaluation of the impact of the new state debt on the state’s existing overall debt position if the plan proposes the issuance of new state debt.
(4) (A) Recommended specific projects for funding or the recommended type and amount of workforce infrastructure to be funded in order to meet programmatic objectives that shall be identified in the proposal.
(B) Any capital outlay or local assistance appropriations intended to fund workforce infrastructure included in the Governor’s Budget shall derive from, and be encompassed by, the funding proposal contained in the plan.
