- Prohibits certain motor vehicle fuel sales and use taxes, that are earmarked for the Transportation
Investment Fund, from being retained in the General Fund. Currently such taxes may be retained if
Governor issues a proclamation, a special statute is enacted by a 2/3 vote of the Legislature, repayment
occurs within three years, and certain other conditions are met.
- Requires repayment by 6/30/17 of such vehicle fuel taxes retained in General Fund from 7/1/03 to
6/30/08. Currently repayment is generally required by 6/30/16.
- Changes how and when General Fund borrowing of certain transportation funds is allowed.
Increases stability of state funding for highways, streets, and roads and may decrease stability of state
funding for public transit. May reduce stability of certain local funds for public transit.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- The state would no longer be
able to suspend the transfer
of gasoline sales tax revenue
from the General Fund to
transportation. In addition,
the state would be able to
loan specified transportation
funds, potentially including
certain local transportation
funds, to the General Fund
for essentially short-term cash
flow purposes only. The state,
however, may be able to loan
to the General Fund, without
express time limitation for
repayment, certain state funds
for public transit.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- The state would still be able to
suspend, under certain
conditions, the transfer of
gasoline sales tax revenue
from the General Fund to
transportation. Additionally,
the state would continue to
be able, under certain
conditions, to loan specified
transportation funds to the
General Fund for up to three
fiscal years.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 91:
- Prop. 91 is NO
LONGER NEEDED.
Please VOTE NO. Voters
passed Proposition 1A in
2006, accomplishing what
Prop. 91 set out to do. Prop.
1A stopped Sacramento
politicians from taking our
gas tax dollars and using those
funds for non-transportation
purposes. Prop. 91 is no
longer needed. VOTE NO.
[Note: see In Depth for Prop 91 under "Additional Background" for an explanation of this argument "for".]
