INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Carter

                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

   An act to amend Section 18032 of the Streets and Highways Code,
relating to street lighting.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2431, as introduced, Carter. Street lighting districts: zoning.

   Existing law, the Street Lighting Act of 1919, provides for an
alternative system for making improvements to street lighting
systems, as defined. Existing law authorizes a city to consolidate
its lighting systems for improvement in one proceeding, by zoning
these systems so that systems of the same or similar general type are
grouped together.
   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 18032 of the Streets and Highways Code is
amended to read:
   18032.  If there is more than one street lighting system in any
city  , any or all of such systems may be consolidated and
improved under one proceeding. In such case  ,  the
consolidated system shall be zoned so that those systems of
approximately the same general type are grouped together.
   In any district wherein zones have been established under this
part and where  ,  subsequent to such establishment,
improvements are made to portions of the lighting system in any zone
which are of the same general type as in other existing zones within
the district, the portion of the zone  which  
that  has been so improved may be transferred to a zone with a
lighting system of the same general type pursuant to the same
procedure of resolution, notice  ,  and hearing as are
applicable under this chapter for the formation of the district.
