loans from the Public Transportation Account and the State Highway
Account shall be repaid at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to

paragraph (2), and the interest payment shall be transferred from
the TCRF to the State Highway Account.

purposes consistent with any restrictions on uses of those funds
imposed under the California Constitution or by statute. The

currently needed for expenditures on the projects listed in Section
14556.40 may be loaned to the General Fund through the annual Budget
Act.
(2) Upon making a determination that funds in the TCRF are not
adequate to support expected cash expenditures for the listed
projects, the Director of Finance, by executive order, shall require
that funds loaned to the General Fund under paragraph (1) be repaid
to the TCRF. All these loans shall be repaid upon the sale of bonds
authorized by Article 6.5 (commencing with Section 63048.6) of

of one hundred eighty million dollars ($180,000,000). The amount of
this interest obligation shall be calculated annually on the balance
of this portion of this outstanding loan amount. All interest on the
loan shall be paid in full at the time the TCRF is repaid pursuant to
paragraph (2), and the interest payment shall be transferred from
the TCRF to the State Highway Account.
(d) Funds loaned to the TCRF under this section shall be used for
purposes consistent with any restrictions on uses of those funds
imposed under the California Constitution or by statute. The
department shall identify specific projects to which those funds may
properly be applied and shall propose that application of funds to
the commission. The commission shall designate projects to receive
those funds through the processes described in Article 3 (commencing
with Section 14556.10) and Article 4 (commencing with Section
14556.25). The department shall report periodically to the commission
and the Department of Finance on the expenditure of those funds.

outstanding, the Director of Transportation shall report to the
commission the amounts of loans outstanding with respect to each fund
or account as of the last business day of each quarter.
(f) This section shall become inoperative upon full repayment of
loans authorized by this section, and shall be repealed on January 1
of the following year.

dollars ($60,000,000), as an interest free loan, from the TCRF to the
Public Transportation Account. The loan shall be repaid no later
than July 1, 2011. The Director of Finance shall not authorize a loan
from the TCRF, and shall promptly require the repayment of any
outstanding balance, or portion thereof, owed to that account, to the
extent funds are needed in the TCRF to make expenditures authorized

statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2012,
deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is
repealed.
