§ 13080 Highway Patrol Building Funding

Key Takeaways

  • •The state sets aside money every year to pay back a loan for a California Highway Patrol building, plus interest.
  • •Part of the money comes from the Motor Vehicle Fund (like money from car stuff), and the rest comes from the General Fund (the state’s main money pot).
  • •The money is only used if the yearly budget doesn’t already cover the building payment.
  • •The Director of Finance decides how much money goes to the Highway Patrol and the Governor to pay back the loan.

Example

Imagine the state borrowed money to build a new Highway Patrol office. Every year, they have to pay back a little bit of that loan, plus extra money (interest) for borrowing it.

The state uses money from car fees (Motor Vehicle Fund) and its main savings (General Fund) to make these payments. If the yearly budget doesn’t already include this payment, they use this special money to cover it.

§ 13080 Highway Patrol Building Funding

Such amount as may be necessary to pay monthly the amount required for liquidation of the investment, with interest at the rate agreed upon between the parties, in any agreements entered into between the State Department of the California Highway Patrol and the Governor and any other state agency, pursuant to the provisions of Section 14681 of the Government Code, is hereby appropriated each fiscal year from the State Treasury. Of the amount so appropriated, so much thereof as is necessary to liquidate the investment in the building for the State Department of the California Highway Patrol is payable from the Motor Vehicle Fund, and the balance necessary for such liquidation is payable from the General Fund. The money herein appropriated shall be allotted to the State Department of the California Highway Patrol and the Governor by the Director of Finance for support in such amounts as he may determine to be necessary, and shall become available only if the Department of Finance certifies to the State Controller that the amount required monthly to liquidate the investment, with interest at the rate agreed upon, has not been included in the Budget Act for such fiscal year for support of the State Department of the California Highway Patrol for such portion of the building which has been provided for its use, or has not been included in the Budget Act for any fiscal year for such portion of the building which has been provided for the use of the Office of Civil Defense. (Added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 371.)
