§ 100002 Santa Clara Transit Renaming

This law says the Santa Clara County Transit District is now called the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and any mention of the old name means the new one, but the agency’s powers and duties stay the same.

Key Takeaways

  • •The old name (Santa Clara County Transit District) is now the new name (Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority).
  • •Any law, rule, or document that mentions the old name is automatically understood to mean the new name.
  • •The agency’s legal status, powers, and responsibilities do not change because of the name change.

Example

A city planner writes a report that says the Santa Clara County Transit District will build a new bus stop.

Because of this law, the report is really talking about the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and the agency still has to follow all its old promises and rules.
