Summary

(1) Existing law regulates the operation of ports and harbors. Existing law provides for the formation and organization of port districts. This bill would require the Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Oakland, beginning January 1, 2012, to assess their infrastructure and air quality improvement needs, including, but not limited to, projects that improve the efficiency of the movement of cargo, reduce congestion impacts associated with the movement of cargo, and reduce pollution associated with the movement of that cargo. The bill would require each port to provide this assessment to specified committees of the Legislature by July 1, 2012, and to include in the assessment the total costs of the infrastructure and air quality improvements, possible funding options for these projects, and estimated timelines for implementation. By imposing these additional duties upon the ports, this bill would establish a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
