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:

  SECTION 1.  Section 54983 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   54983.  Authority for entering into agreements pursuant to this
chapter shall be construed as supplementing existing authority for
legislative bodies of local agencies to enter into agreements for the
providing of municipal services and functions and shall not be
construed as authorizing the legislative body of any local agency to
enter into an agreement for the providing of municipal services or
functions which it is prohibited to provide by law or which exceeds
the force account limit applicable to the local agency contracting to
receive services.
   The amendments to this  section   section
made by Chapter 398 of   the Statutes of 1980,  which
become effective January 1, 1981, shall not apply to any agreement
 which   that  was made prior to that date
nor to the current term of any self-renewing or renewable agreement
 which   that  had been entered into prior
to that date.
