5/31/06-AB2028, a bill that sought to fully restore all transportation funds in the 2007-2008 state budget that have been diverted from Proposition 42 projects since 2003, has died.
In 2002, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 42 requiring fuel pump sales tax revenues to be used solely for transportation.
However, that law allows the governor and state lawmakers to divert the money in the case of a fiscal emergency.
