Senate concurs in bill to modernize Golden Gate Bridge District financing
Summary
SB 607, intended to update long‑term loan authority for the Golden Gate Bridge District to support seismic retrofit financing, was concurred in by the Senate during the Aug. 17 floor session and passed on unanimous roll call.
Senator Wiener told the Senate that SB 607 modernizes the Golden Gate Bridge District's long‑term loan authority to finance a critical seismic retrofit program, arguing the change is necessary given uncertain federal funding and reduced post‑COVID bridge traffic. Wiener said the measure will help the district keep the bridge operational after a major earthquake.
The Senate recorded unanimous concurrence in the Assembly amendments via unanimous roll call (Ayes 40, Nos 0). Sponsors said the bill had bipartisan support in committee and had already passed the Assembly.
