GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 13100-13104

13100. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article
that the state shall establish and annually update a five-year plan
for funding infrastructure. The plan shall include input by the
Legislature as provided in Section 13104. The plan shall identify
state infrastructure needs and set out priorities for funding. The
plan need not identify specific infrastructure projects to be funded,
but it shall be sufficiently detailed to provide a clear
understanding of the type and amount of infrastructure to be funded
and the programmatic objectives to be achieved by this funding. The
plan is intended to complement the existing state budget process for
appropriating funds for infrastructure by providing a comprehensive
guideline for the types of projects to be funded through that
process.

13101. As used in this article, "infrastructure" means real
property, including land and improvements to the land, structures and
equipment integral to the operation of structures, easements,
rights-of-way and other forms of interest in property, roadways, and
water conveyances.

13102. In conjunction with the Governor's Budget submitted pursuant
to Section 13337, the Governor shall submit annually a proposed
five-year 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.

for the five years that it covers:
(a) (1) Identification of new, rehabilitated, modernized,
improved, or renovated infrastructure requested by state agencies.

schools necessary to accommodate increased enrollment, class size
reduction, and school modernization.
(4) The instructional and instructional support facilities needs
for the University of California, the California State University,

(b) The estimated cost of providing the infrastructure identified
in subdivision (a).
(c) A proposal for funding the infrastructure identified in
subdivision (a), that includes all of the following:
(1) Criteria and priorities used to identify and select the

consistent with the state planning priorities specified pursuant to
Section 65041.1 for infrastructure requested by state agencies
pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a).
(2) Sources of funding, including, but not limited to, 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 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 infrastructure included in the Governor's Budget shall
derive from, and be encompassed by, the funding proposal contained in
the plan.

13103. By January 1, 2005, if a state agency requests
infrastructure pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of
Section 13102, that agency shall specify how that infrastructure is
consistent with the state planning priorities specified pursuant to
Section 65041.1. The Governor may also order any entity of state
government to assist in preparation of the infrastructure plan.

13103.5. (a) The department may perform audits, as it deems
necessary, of the allocations or expenditures made in accordance with
Article XIX B of the California Constitution.
(b) Any audit performed pursuant to this section shall be reported
to both houses of the Legislature.

13104. It is the intent of the Legislature that the proposed
infrastructure plan be considered by the Legislature in conjunction
with its consideration of the Budget Bill.
