Assembly Passes AB 1600

The California State Assembly passed AB1600, which amends the Construction Authority’s enabling legislation to formally extend the Foothill Extension project boundaries to Montclair in San Bernardino County, making Montclair an “Extension city” and the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) a non-voting member of the Authority. The bill also clarifies Los Angeles County concerns related to the cost to construct, operate and maintain the line in San Bernardino County, which will be the responsibility of San Bernardino County.
AB1600 was introduced by Assembly Member Norma Torres and coauthored by Senators Hernandez, Huff and Liu and Assembly Member Portantino. As always, we truly appreciate their leadership and commitment to completing the project. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.
