Summary

Existing law, the California High-Speed Train Act, creates the High-Speed Rail Authority to develop and implement a high-speed train system in the state, with specified powers and duties. Existing law, the Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century, approved by the voters as Proposition 1A at the November 4, 2008, general election, provides for the issuance of $9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for high-speed rail and related purposes.

The bill would require a salary survey to be conducted to determine the maximum compensation for the executive director and additional exempt employees, and would require the salaries to be approved by the Department of Personnel Administration.
