Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: funding conditions: high-speed rail.

Summary

The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to let the state’s high‑speed rail authority spend greenhouse‑gas fund proceeds on early‑stage design, utility relocation, and public‑private partnership projects outside the core Merced‑to‑Bakersfield line. It requires advance notification, a cost‑benefit review by the Office of the Inspector General, and a guarantee that such spending will not delay completion of the Merced‑Bakersfield segment. The changes aim to speed up ancillary work while keeping the main project on schedule.
