30501.  Any city, county, district, or political subdivision of the

repay any money or the value of any rights-of-way, labor, materials,
or other property advanced or contributed toward the expense of
acquiring or constructing any toll bridge or other highway crossing,
or the transportation facilities thereof or thereto, acquired or
constructed pursuant to this chapter, but no repayment therefor shall
be made until all obligations issued by the commission for the

revenues received from the operation of the toll bridge or other
highway crossing.

acquisition or construction of any toll bridge or other highway
crossing and the transportation facilities thereof or thereto have
been fully redeemed and paid, the commission may continue to collect
tolls and other revenues for the use of the toll bridge or other
highway crossing for the purpose of reimbursing the state for any
expenditures which have been made by it in connection with the toll
bridge or other highway crossing, and the transportation facilities
thereof or thereto, and for the purpose of repayment to any city,
county, district, or political subdivision of the state of any amount
the commission has agreed to repay for money, rights-of-way, labor,
materials, or other property advanced or contributed for the
acquisition or construction of the toll bridge or other highway
crossing or transportation facilities thereof or thereto.



30506.  Any city, county, incorporated bridge and highway district,
or joint highway district may, by proper resolution of its governing

the acquisition or construction of any toll bridge or other toll
highway crossing across any waters, bays, arms of bays, rivers, or
streams wholly within, or bordering upon, or wholly without the
limits of any such political subdivision or public corporation.
   If the commission refuses to authorize the acquisition or
construction of the proposed toll bridge or other toll highway
crossing, or if the commission does not within three years from the
receipt of the petition authorize the acquisition or construction of
the toll bridge or other toll highway crossing, the city, county,
bridge and highway district, or joint highway district, either singly
or in conjunction with other cities, counties, bridge and highway
districts, or joint highway districts, may acquire or construct the
toll bridge or other toll highway crossing, subject to the
limitations of Article 7 (commencing with Section 30350).
