Transportation: local retail transaction and use taxes: Bay Area.

The Bay Area County Traffic and Transportation Funding Act establishes a process for each of the 9 counties in the San Francisco Bay area to impose a retail transactions and use tax for transportation purposes subject to voter approval. Existing law provides for a county transportation expenditure plan to be developed in that regard, with expenditures from tax revenues to be administered by a county transportation authority, or, alternatively, by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Existing law requires the membership of a county transportation authority to be specified either in the county transportation expenditure plan or in the retail transactions and use tax ordinance. This bill would delete the option of specifying the membership of the authority in the retail transactions and use tax ordinance.
