CA AJR22

Urges the U.S. Congress to pass H.R. 1235 establishing a Federal Infrastructure Bank to finance infrastructure projects nationwide without requiring new federal spending or taxes

Cites California's poor infrastructure grades: D+ for roads, wastewater, dams, and levees; C for bridges; with 50% of California bridges exceeding their design life and 7% structurally deficient

Notes a $3.7 trillion national infrastructure funding gap and $63 billion in annual costs to Californians from congestion, traffic collisions, and poor road conditions

Projects the Federal Infrastructure Bank would create 25 million jobs with Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, "buy American" requirements, and prioritized hiring for minorities and disadvantaged communities

Highlights California-specific infrastructure needs including $45 billion for levee improvements, $75+ billion for high-speed rail, and $25 billion for water quality improvements in Los Angeles and San Diego counties
