Statute text

(a)The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

(1)In 1996, the voters of California adopted Proposition 218, which among other things, limits the ability of local agencies to impose certain property-related fees and assessments without prior property owner consent. In 2010, California voters passed Proposition 26, a further initiative that limits the ability of local agencies to impose fees, levies, charges, assessments, or other exactions without prior voter approval. These initiatives, among other things, amended Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.

(2)The public policy objective of the Legislature in enacting this section is to ensure that those local agencies that require an indemnity obligation from solid waste enterprises, as a condition of providing solid waste handling services within the local agency’s jurisdiction, retain their responsibility for complying with Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
