SECTION 8878.55



8878.55.  The Earthquake Safety and Public Buildings Rehabilitation
Fund of 1990 is hereby created. The proceeds of bonds issued and sold
pursuant to this chapter for the purposes of the programs
established in Article 3 (commencing with Section 8878.60) and
Article 4 (commencing with Section 8878.90) shall be deposited in the
fund and shall be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature,
for expenditure pursuant to this chapter for the following purposes:
   (a) Two hundred fifty million dollars ($250,000,000) for the
following:
   (1) Financing the costs of retrofitting, reconstruction, repair,
replacement, or relocation of state buildings or facilities which are
seismically unsafe or have other safety deficiencies. For these
projects, allowable costs include the cost of abating falling
hazards; the cost of engineering, architectural, financial, and legal
services; preparation of plans, specifications, studies, surveys,
and estimates; administrative expenses; land acquisition for
replacement projects, direct construction, or rehabilitation; and
costs necessary or incidental to the project.
   (2) Investigating state buildings which have been determined to
be, or are suspected to be, inadequate for earthquake safety and
associated fire and life safety deficiencies, asbestos, other toxics,
or falling hazards, and handicap accessibility deficiencies.
   (b) Fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) for the following:
   (1) Financial assistance to local governments for the costs of
retrofitting, reconstructing, repairing, replacing, or relocating
earthquake-unsafe buildings or facilities, including, but not limited
to, the abatement of falling hazards.
   (2) Financial assistance to local governments for the costs of
working drawings, plan reviews, and inspections to effect a
significant life-hazard reduction. The costs of preliminary plans may
be reimbursed upon the appropriation for the project. Reasonable
administrative costs of administering state agencies may be
appropriated from this source.
   (c) Projects approved pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be limited
to buildings or facilities which provide essential services or
emergency or public safety services which meet the requirements of
Section 8878.99 and for which local matching funds equaling at least
25 percent of the total cost of the seismic rehabilitation portion of
the project are guaranteed.
   (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the
Seismic Safety Commission may, to further the objectives of
subdivision (a) or (b), and if appropriated by the Legislature, use
up to 1 percent of the proceeds of the bonds issued and sold pursuant
to this chapter that are deposited into the Earthquake Safety and
Public Buildings Rehabilitation Fund of 1990 to research methods,
techniques, and technologies to identify and analyze existing
potentially hazardous buildings and facilities, including, but not
limited to, unreinforced masonry construction, as well as for the
additional purposes of researching and developing methods,
techniques, and technologies for seismic safety retrofitting of the
buildings, as well as helping to develop and prepare building
standards and administrative regulations relating to the retrofitting
of the buildings for seismic safety purposes.
   (1) All research funds appropriated pursuant to this subdivision
shall be administered and disbursed according to guidelines
established by the commission.
   (2) These guidelines shall set forth the terms and conditions upon
which the commission is prepared to fund research projects pursuant
to this subdivision. The guidelines do not constitute rules,
regulations, orders, or standards of general application.
