INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Roger Hernández

                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

   An act to add Sections 22596, 36652, and 36742.5 to the Streets
and Highways Code, relating to improvement districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2265, as introduced, Roger Hernández. Improvement districts.
   The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 and the
Multifamily Improvement District Law both require a management
district plan for an improvement district proposed under either law
to include specified information. Both laws require a city council to
contract with a nonprofit corporation if the management district
plan designates the nonprofit corporation to provide services to the
improvement district.
   The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 sets forth the procedures
for establishing an assessment district under the act, including the
preparation of reports by an engineer.
   This bill would prohibit the city council, the owners'
association, and the nonprofit corporation, if one is designated, in
the case of a district formed pursuant to the Property and Business
Improvement District Law of 1994 or the Multifamily Improvement
District Law, from contracting for services relating to the
management or operation of the district with any individual, firm,
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or
other organization that was previously contracted with for services
relating to the formation of the district. The bill would also
prohibit a local agency, in the case of an assessment district formed
pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, from
contracting for services relating to the management or operation of
the district with any individual, firm, corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, association, or other organization that
was previously contracted with for services relating to the formation
of the district.
   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 22596 is added to the Streets and Highways
Code, to read:
   22596.  A local agency shall not contract for services relating to
the management or operation of an assessment district pursuant to
this part with any individual, firm, corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, association, or other organization that
was previously contracted with for services relating to the formation
of the district.
  SEC. 2.  Section 36652 is added to the Streets and Highways Code,
to read:
   36652.  The city council, owners' association, or a nonprofit
corporation designated pursuant to Section 36650 shall not contract
for services relating to the management or operation of the district
with any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, association, or other organization that was
previously contracted with for services relating to the formation of
the district.
  SEC. 3.  Section 36742.5 is added to the Streets and Highways Code,
to read:
   36742.5.  The city council, owners' association, or a nonprofit
corporation designated pursuant to Section 36650 shall not contract
for services relating to the management or operation of the district
with any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, association, or other organization that was
previously contracted with for services relating to the formation of
the district.
