BILL NUMBER: AB 774	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Donnelly

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2013

   An act to amend Section 25217.2 of the Government Code, relating
to local government.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 774, as introduced, Donnelly. Country service areas: zone
dissolution.
   The County Service Area Law authorizes the county board of
supervisors, acting as the governing authority of a county service
area, to provide for the collection and enforcement of
property-related fees and charges in the same manner that the county
collects and enforces property-related fees and charges for the
property-related services that the county provides. Existing law
allows the board to change the boundaries of a zone, or to dissolve
the zone, by following specified procedures.
   This bill would require the board to post signs indicating which
services and facilities are no longer provided within the zone and
require the board to provide adequate maintenance to the signs. This
bill would provide that, once the signs are posted and the action is
recorded, the county and the dissolved zone shall not be held liable
for death or injury resulting from the termination of services or
facilities.
   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 25217.2 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   25217.2.   (a)  The board may change the boundaries of a
zone or dissolve a zone by following the procedures in Sections 25217
and 25217.1, as appropriate. 
   (b) Upon dissolution of a zone, the board shall post clearly
visible signs within the zone for which authorized services, levels
of service, or authorized facilities are no longer being provided
within the zone. The sign shall indicate what service or facility is
no longer being provided within the zone and that the county and the
zone are not responsible for any loss or injury resulting from the
termination of services or facilities. The board shall provide
adequate maintenance to ensure that the signs remain posted within
the zone and the message is legible for a period of one year. Once
the signs are posted and the action is duly recorded, the county and
the dissolved zone shall not be held liable for death or injury
resulting from termination of services or facilities.
