Transportation funding: Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: Motor Vehicle Fuel Account.

Summary

SB 94 moves a quarter of the annual proceeds from California's greenhouse‑gas fund away from the High‑Speed Rail Authority and into the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account, then lowers the per‑gallon fuel tax by a percentage tied to that transfer. It also sets new fuel tax rates, adds CPI‑based adjustments, earmarks $200 million for forest health and fire‑prevention projects, and updates the legal definition of a bicycle.
