The final step is sending it to State Parks Director Ruth Coleman. "It can take several weeks," Rist said. "There are a lot of agreements under way and they need to take a close look at the cost benefit analysis. We hope to have it within 30 days.

''With highways between California cities congested and airspace at a premium, Californians desperately need an alternative.'' The bill authorizes the state to begin selling $4.5 billion in voter-approved bonds that includes $2.6 billion to build an initial 130-mile stretch of the high-speed rail line in the Central Valley. That will allow the state to collect another $3.2 billion in federal funding that could have been rescind- ed if lawmakers failed to act Friday. Brown pushed for the massive infrastructure project to accommodate expected growth in the nation's most popu- lous state, which now has 37 million people. He said the project is sorely needed to create jobs in a region with high- er-than-average unemployment. Members of the state Senate voted 21-16 along party lines after intense lobbying by Brown, Democratic leaders and labor groups. The bill, which passed the state Assembly on Thursday, now heads to Brown for his signature. ''The Legislature took bold action today that gets Cali- fornians back to work and puts California out in front once again,'' Brown said in a statement. The governor celebrated with Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacra- mento, a fellow Democrat, in the lawmaker's office right after the vote. The first segment of the line will run from Madera to Bakersfield. The final cost of the completed project from Los Angeles to San Francisco would be $68 billion. Republicans blasted the Senate decision, citing the state's ongoing budget problems. ''It's unfortunate that the majority would rather spend billions of dollars that we don't have for a train to nowhere than keep schools open and harmless from budget cuts,'' Sen. Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, said in a state- ment. Her immune system is such that her parents cannot allow her to be around any- one who might be sick.

"Most don't make it to 10 because of things like the Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Granite Bay, said the project would push California over a fiscal cliff. ''It will require endless subsidies and will blast a massive hole into our budget,'' Gaines said in a statement. The Bay Area Council, a group of business leaders from the San Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley areas, cheered the vote. The council backed the 2008 statewide bond measure regarding the rail line and had been working to sway legis- lators in support of the project in recent weeks. ''This is a courageous step forward for California's future,'' said its president and CEO, Jim Wunderman. In recent days, Democratic leaders included more fund- ing to improve existing rail systems in an effort to entice support for the bullet train.
