<ns0:Title> An act to amend, repeal, and add Section 130051 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to transportation.</ns0:Title>

<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law creates the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority with specified powers and duties relative to transportation planning, programming, and operations in the County of Los Angeles. The authority is governed by a 14-member board of directors consisting of the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, 2 public members and one Los Angeles city council member appointed by the mayor, 4 members appointed from the other cities in the county, the 5 members of the board of supervisors, and a nonvoting member appointed by the Governor. If the number of members of the board of supervisors is increased, existing law requires the authority, within 60 days of the increase, to
submit a plan to the Legislature for revising the composition of the authority.</html:p>
<html:p>Beginning January 1, 2029, this bill would expand the board of directors to 18 members by adding the county executive of the County of Los Angeles and 3 public members appointed by the county executive. The bill would also require the authority, within 60 days of an amendment to the charter of the County of Los Angeles to change the number of members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors or to eliminate the office of county executive, to submit a plan to the Legislature for revising the composition of the authority. To the extent the bill imposes new duties on the County of Los Angeles, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>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.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>
