[Occupymendocino] [Fwd: Re: SB 1077 Mileage Based Fee Pilot Program on the table]

[agnes at mcn.org]

To all California Residents, please call Sacramento legislators and demand
to stop this bill SB 1077.
This is U.N. agenda 21.......






Thought you all might like to see this
This bulletin is about SB 1077 Mileage Based Fee Pilot Program . When I
first saw this bill, I said to myself it will never fly; WRONG. It is now
in the CA Senate Transportation Committee, has been amended and is coming
up for a vote on Tuesday, April 29 . Below is the Legislative Council
Digest with the amended verbiage. Please read it carefully.

legislative counsel’s digest

SB 1077, as amended, DeSaulnier-D. Vehicles: vehicle-miles-traveled
charges. mileage-based fee pilot program.
Existing law establishes the Department of Motor Vehicles and provides for
its general powers and duties, including, among other things, the
registration of vehicles, the licensing of drivers, and the regulation of
vehicles generally. Transportation Agency, which consists of the
Department of the California Highway Patrol, the California Transportation
Commission, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of
Transportation, the High-Speed Rail Authority, and the Board of Pilot
Commissioners for the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun.
This bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles agency to develop
and implement, develop, by July 1, 2015 , January 1, 2016 , a pilot
program designed to assess specified issues related to implementing a
vehicle-miles-traveled mileage-based fee (MBF) in California to replace
the state’s existing fuel excise tax . The bill would require the
agency, at a minimum, to assess certain issues related to implementing an
MBF, including, among others, different methods for calculating mileage
and collecting road use information, processes for managing, storing,
transmitting, and destroying data to protect the integrity of the data and
ensure drivers’ privacy, and costs associated with the implementation
and operation of the MBF system, as specified. The bill would also require
the department to prepare and submit a specified report of its findings to
the policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature no later than June 30,
2016 2017 . The bill would require the report to include, among other
things, recommendations on how best to implement an MBF, as specified, and
recommendations regarding public and private agency access to MBF data
that ensures privacy rights as protected by the California Constitution.
The bill would provide that repeal these provisions would be repealed on
January 1, 2018 .



There has been a lot rhetoric on this bill about high mileage cars,
improved mileage vehicles, hybrids, "alternative-fueled" vehicles and
electric's, however I see this as a means to increase tax revenues and
implement the ARB's "Sustained Communities". Please keep in mind this is
CA's
​part of ​
"U.N. Agenda 21" and the State debt is now $419,465,023,500. Part of the
Agenda 21 thrust is to end urban sprawl, move people into high rise
condo's in the city and use public transportation.

I urge all to send letters of opposition to the Senate Transportation
Committee before April 29 . Simply say you oppose this bill because the
citizens of CA do not need more taxes, we are now taxed and fee'd too much
now. Clubs should use their letterheads and include the number of members.
I would prefer not to supply a sample letter because sometimes they lump
them in as a form letter. I suggest FAX and remember, Silence is Our Enemy
