GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 92350-92354

92350. This title, being necessary for the welfare of the state and
its inhabitants, shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes
hereof.

92351. This title shall be deemed to provide a complete,
additional, and alternative method for the doing of the things
authorized thereby, and shall be regarded as supplemental and
additional to powers conferred by other laws.
The issuance of bonds and refunding bonds under this title need
not comply with the requirements of any other law applicable to the
issuance of bonds, and, in the construction and acquisition of a
project pursuant to this title, the commission need not comply with
the requirements of any other law applicable to the construction or
acquisition of public works except as specifically provided in this
title.
Rapid rail transit system facilities and projects, as defined in
Section 92015, may be acquired, constructed, completed, repaired,
altered, improved, or extended, and bonds may be issued for any of
those purposes under this title, notwithstanding that any other law
may provide for such acquisition, construction, completion, repair,
alteration, improvement, or extension of similar facilities or for
the issuance of bonds for similar purposes and without regard to the
requirements, restrictions, limitations, or other provisions
contained in any other law.

92352. The State of California does hereby pledge to, and agree
with, the holders of any obligations issued under this title, and
with those parties who may enter into contracts with the commission
pursuant to this title, that the state will not limit or alter the
rights hereby vested in the commission until the obligations,
together with the interest thereon, are fully met and discharged and
the contracts are fully performed on the part of the commission.
However, nothing in this section precludes such limitation or
alteration if and when adequate provision has been made by law for
the protection of the holders of obligations of the commission or
those entering into contracts with the commission.
The commission, as agent for the state, may include this pledge
and undertaking for the state in its obligations and contracts.

92353. To the extent that the provisions of this title, with
respect to the financing of rapid rail systems, are inconsistent with
the provisions of any general statute or special act or parts
thereof, with respect to the financing of rapid rail transit
facilities, the provisions of this title shall be deemed controlling.

92354. Any state agency whose support is provided for in the Budget
Act shall require any railroad corporation proposing to construct or
modify a rapid rail transit system or project, as defined in Section
92015, to reimburse the agency for its costs for processing any
application or approval related to the system or project. The
corporation shall reimburse the agency for all costs directly related
to any application or approval including, but not limited to, costs
of agency staff, consultants, and any advisory services which the
agency deems necessary.
