SB 1279: California Transportation Commission: funding prohibition: coal shipment.

Existing law creates the California Transportation Commission, with various duties and responsibilities relative to the programming and allocation of funds for transportation capital projects.

This bill would, except as specified, prohibit the commission from programming or allocating any state funds for new bulk coal terminal projects, as defined. The bill would require terminal project grantees to annually report to the commission that the project is not being used to handle, store, or transport coal in bulk.
