Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 7105

(a) The Transportation Deferred Investment Fund is hereby created in the State Treasury. The Transportation Deferred Investment Fund is to be considered part of the Transportation Investment Fund, except as specifically required for accounting purposes, in order to facilitate the repayment and allocation of revenues consistent with paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 1 of Article XIX B of the California Constitution as provided in this section and Section 7106.
(b) Pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code, the transfer of revenues from the General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund that would have otherwise been required under subdivision (a) of Section 1 of Article XIX B of the California Constitution was partially suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year. The amount of the transfer for the 2003–04 fiscal year was two hundred eighty-nine million dollars ($289,000,000). According to the State Board of Equalization calculations, with the concurrence of the Department of Finance, the amount of the transfer suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year was eight hundred sixty-seven million five hundred sixty-eight thousand dollars ($867,568,000). On or before June 30 of each fiscal year until June 30, 2016, the Controller shall transfer an amount from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund that is equal to the minimum repayment required by Article XIX B of the California Constitution. The repayment shall also include interest calculated at the Pooled Money Investment Account rate relative to the amounts that would otherwise have been available for the transportation programs described in paragraphs (2) to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104. The amount to be repaid by June 30, 2016, from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund from any funding source, excluding subdivision (d). The moneys deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to this subdivision are continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal years for disbursement in the manner and for the purposes set forth in this section.
(c) The Controller, from the moneys deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) and Article XIX B of the California Constitution, shall make transfers and apportionments of those funds in the same manner and amounts that would have been made in the 2003–04 fiscal year from the Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104, as that section read on January 1, 2003, if the transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund had not been partially suspended for the 2003–04 fiscal year pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code, except that in the 2007–08 fiscal year any remaining principle or interest owed to the Public Transportation Account shall be repaid first before any other transfers are made. However, in making those transfers and apportionments, the Controller shall take into account and deduct therefrom any transfers and apportionments that were made from the Transportation Investment Fund in the 2003–04 fiscal year from funds made available pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 14557 of the Government Code. It is the intent of the Legislature that, upon completion of the transfer of funds pursuant to subdivision (b) from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund, each of the transportation programs that was to have been funded during the 2003–04 fiscal year from the Transportation Investment Fund pursuant to Section 7104 of this code shall have received the amount of funding that the program would have received in the absence of the suspension of the transfer pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code.
(d) The interest that is to be deposited in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be allocated proportionately to each program element in paragraphs (2) to (5), inclusive, of subdivision (c) of Section 7104, based on the amount that each program did not receive in the 2003–04 fiscal year due to suspension of the transfer pursuant to Section 14557 of the Government Code.
(e) Four hundred ninety-five million dollars ($495,000,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund for the purpose of paying a portion of the amount required to be paid pursuant to subdivision (b). The Controller shall make the payment immediately upon enactment of the statute amending this section in the 2005–06 Regular Session. Notwithstanding subdivision (c), these funds, shall be distributed as follows:
1. (1) The first one hundred ninety-two million dollars ($192,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall remain in the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to be used for projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 7104.
2. (2) The next one hundred ninety-two million dollars ($192,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be distributed to cities and counties, as follows:
  1. (A) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to cities for the purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) of that section.
  2. (B) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to counties for the purposes specified in Section 7104 pursuant to the formula in paragraph (4) of subdivision (c) of that section.
3. (3) Ninety-six million dollars ($96,000,000) and any interest due pursuant to this section shall be transferred to the Public Transportation Account for allocation pursuant to Section 99312 of the Public Utilities Code.
4. (4) Any funds remaining following the distributions required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) shall be transferred to the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund, and shall be deemed to be funds received by that fund in the 2003–04 fiscal year.
(f) The Legislature finds and declares that continued investment in transportation is essential for the California economy. That investment reduces traffic congestion, assists in economic development, improves the condition of local streets and roads, and provides high-quality public transportation.
(g)
1. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon order of the Department of Finance, all or some of the state agencies collecting revenues for, or spending from, the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund shall adjust budgeting, accounting, and reporting systems and documents so that unliquidated encumbrances, payables, and other accruals are not reflected in the fund balance in the Governor’s Budget fund condition display or the fund balance in the financial statements submitted to the Controller for the budgetary-legal basis annual report.
2. (2) For the purposes of the Governor’s Budget, the balance of cash advanced from the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund to the Transportation Revolving Account, as jointly determined by the Department of Finance and the state agencies referenced in paragraph (1), shall be deemed as resources and cash available to the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund for budgeting purposes.
3. (3) This method shall be effective with the 2013–14 Governor’s Budget development process and may be applied to the 2011–12 data.
