What Is the Main Purpose of ACA 11?
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 11 would increase the amount of General Fund revenue committed to pay-as-you-go capital outlay projects. According to the measure, the creation of the Infrastructure Fund is intended to assure continual capital outlay funding to address ongoing infrastructure needs. Assembly Constitutional Amendment 11 specifies that the Infrastructure Fund be allocated by the Legislature for capital outlay purposes, of which 50 percent would be for state-owned infrastructure and 50 percent would be for local government infrastructure (excluding school and community college districts). Figure 4 summarizes the main provisions of the measure. While the goal of committing a portion of General Fund revenue annually to capital outlay projects is a simple one, ACA 11 contains a number of relatively complicated provisions that can change the annual amount of General Fund revenue transferred to the Infrastructure Fund.
