Senate BillNo. 1360


Introduced by Senator Bates

February 19, 2016


An act to amend Section 54983 of the Government Code, relating to local government.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 1360, as introduced, Bates. Local government.

Under existing law, the legislative body of any local agency, defined to mean a county, city, city and county, or public district, may contract with any other local agency for the performance by the latter of municipal services or functions within the territory of the former, but prohibits the force account limit applicable to the local agency contracting to receive services from being exceeded. Existing law excepts from that prohibition agreements made before January 1, 1981, or the current term of any self-renewing or renewable agreement entered into before that date.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
