Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Proposition 1A, a Legislative Constitutional; Amendment affecting “Transportation Funding Protection,” was approved by California voters on November 5, 2006 to amend Article XIX B of the state Constitution.  (See Exhibit A, #1)  The proposition was placed on the ballot by the Legislature following its approval of Resolution Chapter 49, enacting Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 7.  (See Exhibit B, #1e)   As you will find, Proposition 1A carried the proposal enacted in Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 7.  (See and compare Exhibit A, #1, page 15 with Exhibit B, #1e,)

The Third Reading analysis of Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 7 as last amended described the proposals in the bill as follows:

DIGEST:  This constitutional amendment deletes the requirement that the Governor issue a proclamation declaring that the transferring of funds to the Transportation Investment Fund will have a “significant negative fiscal impact on the range of functions of government funded by the General Fund of the State” and instead requires that the Governor’s proclamation declare that the suspension is necessary “due to a severe state fiscal hardship,” and authorizes Proposition 42 funds to be loaned to the General Fund under specified conditions.
