	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1930, Negrete McLeod.  Joint exercise of powers.
   Existing law authorizes a joint powers agency, or entity provided
for by a joint exercise of powers agreement, conducting agricultural,
livestock, industrial, cultural, or other types of fairs and
exhibitions or educational programs and activities to establish and
administer risk pooling arrangements for the payment of liability
losses incurred by members of the joint powers agency or entity and
by nonprofit corporations conducting these activities, as specified.

   This bill would additionally authorize the risk pooling
arrangements to make payments for workers' compensation losses and
other types of losses.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 6516.9 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   6516.9.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a joint
powers agency or entity provided for by a joint powers agreement
pursuant to this article, the members of which may conduct
agricultural, livestock, industrial, cultural, or other types of
fairs and exhibitions, or educational programs and activities, may
establish and administer risk pooling arrangements for the payment of
liability losses, workers' compensation losses, and other types of
losses incurred by members of the joint powers agency or entity and
by nonprofit corporations conducting or benefiting agricultural,
livestock, industrial, cultural, or other types of fairs and
exhibitions, or educational programs and activities, and by members
of the joint powers agency or entity and by nonprofit corporations or
auxiliary organizations operating facilities, programs, or events at
public schools, the California Community Colleges, the California
State University, or the University of California.  For purposes of
this section, one or more public agencies and one or more nonprofit
corporations or auxiliary organizations operating facilities,
programs, or events at public schools, the California Community
Colleges, the California State University, or the University of
California may enter into a joint powers agreement.  The joint powers
agency or entity may provide the nonprofit corporations with any
services or nonrisk pooling programs provided to the agency's or
entity's members.  Aggregate payments made under each risk pooling
arrangement shall not exceed the amount available in the pool
established for that arrangement.  The joint powers agency or entity
may establish and administer as many separate risk pooling
arrangements as it deems desirable.  A liability risk pooling
arrangement established pursuant to this section also may provide for
the payment of losses incurred by special events users, lessees, and
licensees of facilities operated by nonprofit corporations,
auxiliary organizations, public schools, the California Community
Colleges, the California State University, or the University of
California and for the payment of losses incurred by employees,
participants and exhibitors in programs sponsored by those entities.
