	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1309, as introduced, Miller. County road expenditures.
   Existing law, if a state of emergency is declared by the board of
supervisors as a result of locally heavy rainfall or flood,
authorizes the board to expend county road funds for emergency
repairs to public roads that are not county highways if the repairs
are necessary to provide minimum public access for the protection and
preservation of health or safety of residents.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 969.6 of the Streets and Highways Code is
amended to read:
   969.6.  Notwithstanding Section 969.5 or any other provision of
this code, if a state of local emergency is declared by the board of
supervisors as a result of locally heavy rainfall or flood, the board
may authorize the expenditure of road funds for the purpose of
emergency repairs to public roads  which   that
 are not county highways and not in the county maintained
system, without obtaining a grant or lease of right-of-way, if the
repairs are necessary to provide minimum public access 
necessary  for the protection or preservation of health or
safety of residents. The county shall not be responsible for the
maintenance of any road so repaired, and it shall not be liable for
the condition of the road after the emergency repairs are made.
